Do all HTML elements have end tags?

Digging deep into HTML elements most people ignore simple basics that end up messing their codes.

no, not all .. there are so called "void elements" like : <area> <br> <img> <link> <meta> but notice that you need an ending slash if you are writing in XHTML. so for example in XHTML you must use <br /> instead of <br> !

Not all of them - IMG for example does not. HTML5 made the structure of the document easier to understand, but you are right, most of the stuff out there is a mess.

No. In any markup language tags are classified into two types: i)container tags: Which have opening and closing tags and also supports other tags within them. eg: <p>, <head>, <body> etc. ii)empty tags: The tags which don't have or support any other tags. eg. <br>,<img> etc
