What are the best practices for handling HTML elements like <div> and <a> within PHP code for WordPress?

When handling HTML elements like <div> and <a> within PHP code for WordPress, it is best practice to use WordPress functions and methods to generate these elements dynamically rather than hardcoding them. This ensures that the elements are consistent with the WordPress theme and are properly sanitized to prevent security vulnerabilities.

// Example of creating a &lt;div&gt; element using WordPress functions
echo &#039;&lt;div class=&quot;my-div&quot;&gt;&#039;;
echo esc_html__(&#039;This is a dynamic div element&#039;, &#039;text-domain&#039;);
echo &#039;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;;

// Example of creating an &lt;a&gt; element using WordPress functions
echo &#039;&lt;a href=&quot;&#039; . esc_url(&#039;https://example.com&#039;) . &#039;&quot;&gt;&#039;;
echo esc_html__(&#039;Click here&#039;, &#039;text-domain&#039;);
echo &#039;&lt;/a&gt;&#039;;
