Chaque étiquette en HTML comporte une commande commençant par [un chevron ouvrant] (<) et finissant par [un chevron fermant] (>). De plus, les étiquettes commencent par un code de début, qui renvoie à une commande précisant l’effet produit sur le texte. Chaque marquage se termine par une étiquette de fin qui inclut une barre oblique identifiant la fin du marquage. Par exemple, l’étiquette <HTML> indique le début du document en HTML, et l’étiquette <HTML> en indique la fin. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9tiquette%20de%20fin
