<p></p>
<strong></strong>
<em></em>
<h1></h1> to <h6></h6>
<img src=“image.jpg” />

    <a href\="URL"\>this is a text link</a\> <!-- text link -->  
    <a href\="URL"\><img src\="image.jpg" /></a\> <!-- image link -->  
  
    <ul\> <!-- you can nest lists -->  
        <li\></li\>  
    </ul\>  
    <ol\>  
        <li\></li\>  
    </ol\>  
  
    <!-- attributes for styling text (inline style) -->  
    <p style\="color:blue; font-size:10px; font-family:Courier"\>  
    <body style\="background-color:brown"\>  
    <h3 style\="text-align:center"\>  
  
    <table\>  
        <thead\>  
            <tr\> <!-- row header -->  
                <th\></th\> <!-- column header -->  
            </tr\>  
        </thead\>  
        <tbody\>  
            <tr\>  
                <td\></td\>  
            </tr\>  
        <tbody\>  
    </table\>  
  
    <!-- attributes for styling table (inline style) -->  
    <td colspan\="2″ style="border:1px solid black"\>  
      
    <div\></div\> <!-- for dividing webpage into smaller pieces --->  
      
    <!-- attributes for styling div (inline style) -->  
    <div style\="width:50px; height:50px"\></div\>  
      
    <span\></span\> <!-- for styling even smaller parts like text -->  
    <p\>This is black, this is <span style\="color:red"\>red</span\>!</p\>  
  
    <!-- NOTE:  
        <div> is a block level element  
        <span> is an inline level element  
        Block level element has new lines before and after  
         and consumes the whole width available  
        Inline level element has no new lines,  
         can be placed aside other elements  
         and cannot define width  
    -->
