HTML Elements
An HTML element usually consists of a start tag and end tag, with the content inserted in between:
<tagname>Content goes here...</tagname>The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag. Source
HTML Attributes
An attribute is used to define the characteristics of an HTML element and is placed inside the element's opening tag. All attributes are made up of two parts: a name and a value.
- All HTML elements can have attributes
- Attributes provide additional information about an element
- Attributes are always specified in the start tag
- Attributes usually come in name/value pairs like: name="value" Source
HTML Tag vs Element
"Elements" and "tags" are terms that are widely confused. HTML documents contain tags, but do not contain the elements. The elements are only generated after the parsing step, from these tags. Source: wikipedia > HTML_element
An HTML element is defined by a starting tag. If the element contains other content, it ends with a closing tag.
For example
<p>is starting tag of a paragraph and</p>is closing tag of the same paragraph but<p>This is paragraph</p>is a paragraph element.Source:tutorialspoint > html_elements

Tags are labels you use to mark up the begining and end of an element.
All tags have the same format: they begin with a less-than sign "<" and end with a greater-than sign ">".
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of tags - opening tags:
<html>and closing tags:</html>. The only difference between an opening tag and a closing tag is the forward slash "/". You label content by putting it between an opening tag and a closing tag.HTML is all about elements. To learn HTML is to learn and use different tags.
For example:
<h1></h1>Where as elements are something that consists of start tag and end tag as shown:
<h1>Heading</h1>讨论(0)
