Types of HTML Tags

HTML Tags

In this tutorial, we will learn about different types of HTML tags. HTML uses various tags to structure the content on the webpage. Each tag serves a specific purpose, such as creating paragraphs, embedding images, etc.

Types of HTML Tags

HTML tags are of two types. There are as follows:

• Paired Tag
• Unpaired Tag

Paired Tag

A tag is paired if the text is placed between a tag and its companion tag, i.e., a closing tag. In paired tags, the first tag is called an opening tag, and the second is called a closing tag.

Paired tags are also called:

• Non Singular
• Container
• Dependent

 

Unpaired Tag

An unpaired tag does not have a companion tag, i.e., it does not have an end tag or closing tag. These are also called singular or stand-alone tags.

Unpaired tags are called:

• Singular
• Standalone
• Independent
