Which html tags can be defined in quotes for a variable?

If the following code can use h2 inside quotes, what other tags can be used inside quotes? Is it possible to put a div tag in there also? Any tags that cause a conflict?

var sentence = "<h2> There once was a " + adjective;

Hi Pratham,

Any type of tag can be defined in a string, JavaScript is not aware this is an actual HTML tag. Only when it is written to the html document does the HTML interpret the tag as something meaningful. Using this technique, you can create some pretty powerful HTML generated content.

Let me know if you have any more questions!
