Headings
Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1> defines the largest heading. <h6> defines the smallest heading.
HTML automatically adds an extra blank line before and after a heading.

Paragraphs
Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag.
HTML automatically adds an extra blank line before and after a paragraph.

Line Breaks
The <br> tag is used when you want to end a line, but don't want to start a new paragraph. The <br> tag forces a line break wherever you place it.

The <br> tag is an empty tag. It has no closing tag.

Comments in HTML
The comment tag is used to insert a comment in the HTML source code. A comment will be ignored by the browser. You can use comments to explain your code, which can help you when you edit the source code at a later date.Note that you need an exclamation point after the opening bracket, but not before the closing bracket
