### What is an HTML element?
An HTML element is **a component of an HTML document that tells a web browser how to structure and interpret a part of the HTML document**. It consists of a start tag, its attributes, an end tag, and everything in between, HTML elements can contain formatting instructions, semantic meaning, and content
An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag:
<tagname> Content goes here... </tagname>
### HTML Attribute
HTML attributes provide additional information about HTML elements. Attributes are always specified in **the start tag.** Attributes usually come in name/value pairs like **name="value"**
