title: What are jQuery angle bracket selector looking things, like $('<img/>')?
body: <p>Sometimes I see constructs like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6124409/image-size-before-is-in-dom"><code>$('&lt;img/&gt;')</code></a>. How is <code>$('&lt;img/&gt;')</code> different from <code>$('img')</code> and where can I read more about this?</p>
  
  <p>I tried looking at <a href="http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jQuery Selectors</a> but found nothing related to this format.</p>
