Paired HTML Tags

A paired tag consists of two tags, the first one is called an opening tag and the second

one is called closing tag. These tags contain the text in between at which the effect of
that tag will be applied. For example: <b>ABC</b>

Here <b> is the opening tag, </b> is the closing tag and ABC the text in between which
will result as ABC on the browser screen. Some more examples of paired HTML tags

are given below:

• <li> </li> List Items

The <li> tag defines a list item. The <li> tag is used inside ordered lists(<ol>), unordered
lists (<ul>).
