1<span> — A generic inline container with no built-in styling. Used to wrap part of a text flow so CSS can target and style that portion of the text.
2<main> — The HTML5 semantic element that wraps the unique primary content of a page. There should be only one <main> per page.
3<article> — A semantic HTML element for self-contained content that could stand alone, such as a blog post, news story, or forum entry.
4<tr> — An HTML element that creates one horizontal row inside a table. Every <td> and <th> cell must sit inside a <tr>.
5<tbody> — The HTML element that groups the main data rows of a table. It sits inside <table> alongside <thead> and <caption>, wrapping the <tr> rows that contain <td> cells.
6action — The <form> attribute that specifies the URL where the form data is sent when the user submits. Without it, data is sent to the current page URL.
7name — The <input> attribute that identifies the field's value when the form is submitted. Without name, the input value is not sent to the server.
8type — The <input> attribute that specifies what kind of data field is created. Different values produce text boxes, password fields, number steppers, checkboxes, and more.
9for — The <label> attribute that links the label to a specific input. Its value must exactly match the id of the target input element.
10<button> — An HTML element that creates a clickable button. The type attribute controls its behaviour: submit, reset, or button.
