HTML
uses what are called tags. Most HTML need a beginning and end tag.
Each tag MUST be enclosed in brackets like this <> the end
tag also must
have the brackets, however you need to put a forward slash in the
end bracket.
Online,
people use HTML to create web pages. Now you can
use HTML tags to spice up your listings! Here's how:
Paragraphs,
line breaks, and horizontal lines
Separate your paragraphs using the <p> tag for a new paragraph.
The <br> tag starts a new line without skipping any space. To
draw a line across the screen, use <hr> (for "horizontal
rule").
