| \<br/> | Inserts a newline character. | \<p>This is a paragraph\<br/>This is a new paragraph\</p>|
| \<hr/> | Defines a thematic break (such as a shift of topic) on an HTML page and creates a horizontal line. | \<p>This is a paragraph\</p>\<hr/>\<p>This is a paragraph\</p> |
| \<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> |
| \<i>\</i> | Displays text in italic style. | \<i>This is in italic style\</i> |
| \<u>\</u> | Defines text that should be styled differently or have a non-textual annotation, such as misspelt words or a proper name in Chinese text.

| style | Defines the inline style of an element and is placed inside the tag.

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