Summary  
This chapter explains the syntax and structure of HTML tags—how to use paired opening and closing tags to define elements and how to insert comments that are ignored by the browser.  

General domain of usage  
Web development

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the language used to structure content on the web. An HTML file (`.html`) tells the browser how to display text, images, lists, tables, and more.

Definition

## What Are Tags?
Tags are the basic building blocks of HTML. They define elements such as paragraphs, buttons, sections, and images. Tags are written inside angle brackets: `<tagname>`.

Most tags come in pairs:
- Opening tag: `<tagname>`;
- Closing tag: `</tagname>`.

Content goes between them.

## Comments
Comments let you add notes inside your HTML code. The browser ignores them, so they don't appear on the page.
