A void element is an HTML element that does not have any content or closing tag.

Void elements, also known as self-closing tags or empty elements, are HTML elements that do not contain any content between an opening and a closing tag. They are defined by the HTML specification and are used to insert elements that do not require any text or child elements. Examples of void elements include <br>, <img>, <input>, <meta>, and <link>.

These elements are self-contained and are typically used for their attributes rather than for content. In HTML, void elements are written with just an opening tag.

Example:

  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

</head>
<body>
  <img src="image.jpg" alt="Example Image">
  <br>
  <input type="text" placeholder="Enter text here">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</body>
</html>
