Clarify: Elements and Tags

Open Fiattarone opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I didn't see any examples of self-closing tags, or the mention of the term "self-closing tags," which from my experience is a more prevalent term than "empty elements".

Just wanted to add, the first mention of self-closing tags other than what I've contributed here is in CSS Foundations--I think it will be more beneficial for learners to see this earlier on rather than be exposed without an explanation.
