HTML Tips

• Almost all HTML tags come in pairs.
• You should try to put each tag or tag set on a
  separate line rather than running all the text
  and tags together.
• If quotation marks are used around an element,
  dont forget to type both.
• Dont forget both angle brackets around the tags.

• You can type tags in upper or lowercase letters.
  It is sometimes helpful to type tags in uppercase
  so you can find them more easily.
• HTML ignores line breaks/returns on the keyboard.
  You need to use ltBRgt tags.
