Entities (Continued): Utilize more HTML entities, such as © for the copyright symbol "©" and   for a non-breaking space.

Meta Tags (Continued): Include more meta tags for specifying the character encoding, specifying the language, and setting the page to refresh automatically.

Preformatted Text: Use the <pre> element to display preformatted text, preserving whitespace and line breaks.

Special Elements: Discover special elements like <canvas> for drawing graphics, <svg> for scalable vector graphics, and <audio> and <video> for media content.

Accessibility Best Practices: Continue to focus on creating accessible web pages by providing text alternatives for non-text content, using meaningful link text, and ensuring keyboard accessibility.

Validation and Testing: Validate your HTML code regularly using online validators to catch errors and improve code quality. Test your web pages on various browsers and devices to ensure compatibility.
