| \<div>\</div> | Defines a generic container that is generally used to group block-level elements. It allows you to apply CSS styles to multiple elements at the same time. | \<div style='color:#0000FF'>\<h3>This is the heading in a div element\</h3>\</div> |

| \<script>\</script> | Used to embed or reference a client-side script, such as JavaScript. | \<script>document.write("Hello World!")\</script> |
