1. HTML Tag Format
<tagname parameter="value" parameter2="value">content</tagname>
<div class="headline">Tiger Loose in City!</div>
<p>Hello</p>
<img src="pic.jpg"> <!-- this is a comment… this tag ends itself so does the next one -->
<br /> <!-- the below tag has a parameter with no value – this is okay in HTML 5 -->
<select multiple><option>blue</option><option>grey</option></select>
HTML tags have a start tag and an end tag each between two angle brackets. The content goes between. The end tag is the same but has a forward slash / in front. The end tag is not needed if there is no content. Parameters are put in the start tag to give more information about the tag – the quotes are optional for one word values. Some parameters have no value.
