1. Explain following tags with example. (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025)
a. <BR> - The HTML <br>tag is a line break element you can use in HTML code. It creates a line
break in text, effectively starting a new line without starting a new paragraph.
Example: <p>To force<br> line breaks<br> in a text,<br> use the br<br> element.</p>
Output:

line breaks
in a text,

element.

b. <PRE> - The <pre> tag defines preformatted text. Text in a <pre> element is displayed in a fixed-
width font, and the text preserves both spaces and line breaks. The text will be displayed
exactly as written in the HTML source code.
Example:
<pre>
Text in a pre element
is displayed in a fixed-width
font, and it preserves
both spaces and
line breaks
</pre>

e. <HR> - The <hr> tag in HTML is used to create a horizontal line, typically to visually separate
content sections within a webpage. It's a self-closing tag, meaning it doesn't require a separate
closing tag like <hr>.

f. <B> - The <b> tag in HTML is used to render text in bold without marking it as important.
Example: This is normal text - <b>and this is bold text</b>
Output: This is normal text - and this is bold text

g. <UI> - The <ul> tag defines an unordered (bulleted) list. Use the <ul> tag together with the <li> tag
to create unordered lists.
Example:
<ul style="circle">
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ul>
Output:
o Coffee
o Tea
o Milk

h. <SUP> - The <sup> tag defines superscript text.

Example: This text contains superscript text like 12^th.
Output: This text contains superscript text like 12th.

i. <IMG> - The <img> tag is used to embed an image in an HTML page. The <img> tag has two
required attributes:
 src - Specifies the path to the image
 alt - Specifies an alternate text for the image, if the image for some reason cannot be
displayed

Example: <img src="[Link]" alt="Image not visible" width="500" height="600">

j. <EM> - Mark up emphasized text in a document. The content inside is typically displayed
in italic.
Example: You <em>have</em> to hurry up!
Output: You have to hurry up!

k. <DL> - The <dl> tag defines a description list.

The <dl> tag is used in conjunction with <dt> (defines terms/names) and <dd> (describes each
term/name).
