Headings < h 1> </ h 1> Go from largest to smallest as it increases. h1 being the largest and h6 being the smallest.
< div> is short for division. It allows you to group HTML elements to apply the same styles.
Paragraphs (< p >) contain a block of plain text.
< span > contains short pieces of text or other HTML. They are used to separate small pieces of content that are on the same line as other content.
The < em> tag will generally render as italic emphasis.
The < strong> will generally be rendered as bold emphasis.
< br > creates a line break element. (creates space)
< ul > Creates a bulleted list of items that need to be used < li > to make the list.
< ol > creates an ordered list
< img > allows you to add an image
