      HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) consists of a defined set of tags that are used to structure content on web pages. As of the latest HTML specification (HTML5), there are dozens of tags available for various purposes, including defining headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, forms, multimedia content, and more. These tags provide a structured way to organize and present information on the web.

      While the core HTML tags are relatively few in number, HTML5 has expanded the set of available tags compared to earlier versions of HTML.

      Some common categories of HTML tags:

      1. Document Structure:
        • <html>, <head>, <title>, <body>
      2. Text Formatting:
        • <p>, <h1> to <h6>, <strong>, <em>, <span>
      3. Links and Navigation:
        • <a>, <nav>, <ul>, <ol>, <li>
      4. Tables:
        • <table>, <tr>, <th>, <td>
      5. Forms:
        • <form>, <input>, <textarea>, <select>, <button>
      6. Media:
        • <img>, <audio>, <video>, <canvas>
      7. Semantic Elements:
        • <header>, <footer>, <section>, <article>, <aside>
      8. Metadata:
        • <meta>, <base>, <link>, <style>, <script>

      HTML5 Tags:

      HTML5 introduced several new semantic and structural elements, enhancing the ability to create accessible and SEO-friendly web pages. Some notable HTML5 tags include <header>, <footer>, <nav>, <article>, <section>, <figure>, <figcaption>, <main>, and <aside>, among others.

      Total Number of Tags:

      While it’s difficult to provide an exact count due to variations and continuous updates in HTML specifications, there are approximately 100+ HTML tags including both standard and deprecated tags across various HTML versions.
