The most important tags in HTML are those that define headings, paragraphs, and line breaks.
Here are list of some common tags:

TAG DESCRIPTION
< html > Defines an HTML document
< body > Defines the document's body
< h1 > to < h6 > Defines header 1 to 6

Defines a paragraph
< br / > Inserts a single line break
< hr / > Defines a horizontal rule
< !- - > Defines a comment
%nbsp; Adds one space
*tags for html text formatting*
defines inserted text
defines deleted text

Some characters like the <>

A character entity has three parts: an ampersand (&), an entity name or a # and an entity number, and finally a semicolon (;).

The less than sign must be written in this way:
&It; or <.

The advantage of using a name instead of a number is that a name is very easy to remember.
Here are the list of some common character entities:
