HTML is something that no web developer can do without. However, the majority of us believe that learning HTML is simple. It’s true in certain ways. But that doesn’t rule out the possibility of HTML surprising us.
There are still certain HTML tags that we are unaware of. two of them will be discussed in this post. Of course, HTML may have more hidden gems for us to discover. But for the time being, let’s concentrate on a handful of them.
