An HTML Element is an HTML Document section that starts with a Begin Tag and stops with an End Tag. HTML Elements describe the structure and content of the document.
<p>This is a paragraph element.</p>
An HTML Element can contain other HTML Elements.
An HTML Elements text will not display keyboard entered line breaks, spaces or tabs. The browser will allow one space for a keyboard entered line break. This allows the browser to supply automatic word wrap when the browser window is resized.
