[[File:HTML element content categories.svg|thumb|HTML element content categories]]

HTML documents imply a structure of nested [[HTML element]]s. These are indicated in the document by HTML ''tags'', enclosed in angle brackets thus: {{code|lang=html|code=<p>}}.<ref>{{cite web|title=HTML Elements|url=https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_elements.asp|publisher=w3schools|access-date=16 March 2015}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=February 2019}}

In the simple, general case, the extent of an element is indicated by a pair of tags: a "start tag" {{code|lang=html|code=<p>}} and "end tag" {{code|lang=html|code=</p>}}. The text content of the element, if any, is placed between these tags.
