HTML Elements
Write a paragraph with an emphasized phrase using em.
Understand the topic
Most HTML elements have an opening tag, content, and a closing tag. Elements can contain other elements when their content rules allow it. Nest them in a consistent order: the last element opened should normally be the first closed. Void elements such as img, input, br, and meta do not have closing tags or child content.
Worked example
<p>Study <strong>one topic</strong> each day.</p>
<p>First line<br>Second line</p>The paragraph contains a strong element. Its closing tag comes before the paragraph closes. The br element creates a meaningful line break and does not need an end tag.

Do not nest a paragraph inside another paragraph. Browsers repair invalid markup, which can produce a different DOM from the source you wrote.
