We should use correctly tag and element

See original GitHub issue

related to https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/issues/43427#issuecomment-917026049

In the new Responsive Design curriculum the words tag and element are used interchangebly

The correct use should be h1 element and <h1> tag (or at least, element is the whole thing, tag is the one that start with < and end with > and can be an opening tag, a closing tag or a self-closing tag).

Should this be changed in the new curriculum?

@ieahleen That does look like something that should be standardised. Thank you, for listing them.


I am opening this issue up for first timers only. The files that need changed are listed in the above reply.

What needs changed

  • There are a few uses of the word tag which should be changed to element.

Example

Original:

You may be familiar with the meta tag already;

New:

You may be familiar with the meta element already;

Note

Not all uses of the word tag should be changed. Example:

You should give the meta tag a charset of UTF-8.
