Thanks for the question, Dan!

When I intially started this project, I tried to look at things from
the prospective of a middle school student. Believe it or not, I had to
come up with some terminology that's not normally associated with HTML
so as to break things down in a "Sesame Street" level manner that
everybody in the class could understand!

For example < > and </ > with anything in between became known as
'sandwiches' . Anything like an <img...> or <br> tag became known as a
'stand-alone tag'. (Since it didn't have a corresponding </ >. The
omission of the <p> tag was a slight mistake on my part due to
over-emphasizing a single line break.(Bad teacher! Bad teacher!) Yes,
the <p> tag will be incorporated in this year's lesson!
