pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although some tags represent empty elements and so are
unpaired, for example <img>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, and the second tag is
the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). In between these tags
web designers can add text, further tags, comments and other types of text-based content.

interpret the content of the page.

a news reader) running on their own machines; doing this is usually as simple as dragging
the link from the web browser to the aggregator.

Web feeds are operated by many news websites, weblogs, schools, and podcasters.
