Thanks for making this! I started learning html recently and forget a few tags on occasion, so this should help me out with that. I've got an inquiry about the '!'/comment tag though; comments are only able to be viewed by people looking at the actual code, right? If it doesn't show up anywhere else but the code, that might be a key piece of info to add to the guide. I was also taught it could be used as a coder's note to themselves, which is another suggestion of mine to add. Otherwise, everything seems to be defined flawlessly!

Yeah, this "list" isn't quite complete. I haven't really had the time to finish it as I've been busy with other stuff.
