More specifically, an HTML element is an SGML element that meets the requirements of one or more of the HTML Document Type Definitions (DTDs). The most common examples for HTML elements are: headings, links, paragraphs, lists, and other HTML structures.

HTML elements may also be referred to as "tags". However, an HTML tag is only part of an HTML element. For more information about HTML tags please go to:
