Key HTML Elements:

• Tags and Elements: HTML uses ‘tags’ to mark up text. Tags like <h1>, <p>, and <a> define headings, paragraphs, and links, respectively.

• Attributes: Tags can have attributes that provide additional information about the element. For instance, the <a> tag uses the href attribute to specify the URL of the link.

• Nesting: Elements can be nested inside other elements. This helps you organize your page’s content hierarchically and stylistically.
