Empty Tag: These are standalone and do not bracket or contain text or any other tag elements. An empty tag function is a standalone element within an HTML documents and thus does not bracket or contain anything else.

Syntax: Attribute = “value”

E.g., align=”center”

• The HTML tag

• The Title tag
