Elements in HTML container and Empty elements

 

In HTML, all elements are categorized based on whether they can hold content or not.
 
1. Container Elements (Paired Tags)
These elements wrap around content (text, images, or other tags) and require both an opening tag and a closing tag. The closing tag always includes a forward slash /.
  • Structure: <tagname> Content </tagname>

 

2. Empty Elements (Un-Paired Tags)
Empty elements do not have any child content or text inside them. Because there is nothing to “wrap,” they do not require a closing tag.
  • Structure: <tagname> (or sometimes <tagname/> in older versions).
