Use cases
Anchor
To create a linkable anchor, you can use any HTML tag with an id attribute.
E.g. <span id="note2"></span> allows you to create a link to its location on the page using [[#note2|See relevant note]].
CSS formatting
With style attribute
Using HTML tag instead of wikitext equivalent allows you to add a style attribute to define a custom display through CSS language.
With class and id attributes
Thanks to TemplateStyles, you may add a custom stylesheet to the document.
So it is useful to add class or id attributes to the elements you want to customize their display.
Overridden HTML syntax
HTML comments
Wikitext uses HTML comment syntax for its own comments: the parser ignores them, they are not rendered in resulting HTML source.
<!-- This text is a wikitext comment. After saving, it will be kept in wikitext source but will not be displayed, neither rendered in HTML source. -->
Pre tag
The content of a pre tag is not parsed, as in a <nowiki> tag.
You have to use the equivalent wikitext syntax to allow the content parsing. I.e. start each line with a blank space:
Some preformatted text which can contain wikitext, i.e. this idiomatic text will be parsed. Other line.
