Heading (Headline) Elements
(<H1>...<H6>)

Headings are used to break up your webpage into distinct, key sections (chapters).

Line Break Elelments
(<br>)

Line breaks are used to breakt to a new line of test within a block, such as a paragraph. In Word, these would be called line breaks (Shift + Enter).

HTML Entities

Entities allow us to display special character on our webpage. For instance, there are entities for ©, ™, ¥, and non-breaking space.

Paragraphs are block elements. Other block elements include: H1...H6, HEADER, FOOTER, P, DIV, UL, OL, LI, TABLE, SECTION, NAV, ARTICLE, ASIDE, HEADER, FOOTER, and others.

Common semantic STRUCTURAL elements include: HEADER, FOOTER, MAIN, SECTION, ARTICLE, NAV, ASIDE, FIGURE, and FIGCAPTION.
