HTML tags are like containers for content. They tell how the content should be displayed. Tags in HTML should be enclosed with < and >. Most tags consist of an opening tab ie <HTML> and a closing tag ie </HTML>. The proper action is then taken concerning the content in between them. There are many tags that can be used, however very few are required. It is recommended that all HTML pages begin with the <HTML> tag, and end with the corresponding closing tag </HTML>. For example:

<HTML>

<head>

info here is for the browser, not displayed to the user

</head>

<body>

this is where the page content goes

</body>

</HTML>

I've found w3schools to be very helpful in learning HTML. A few other useful tags include: <form></form> (for making forms), <table></table> (for tables, with <tr> and <td> to make rows and columns respectively), <h1></h1> (the largest header), and <p></p> (a paragraph.)
