Tags

Tags are the elements that are used in the markup language. HTML tags are keywords surrounded by “<>” like <html>. HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag; the second tag is the end tag. Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags.


HTML attribute

HTML attributes are modifiers of HTML tags. They are generally written within the start tag of an element, after the element's name. They appear as name-value pairs, separated by "="
<''tag'' ''attribute''="''value''">(content to be modified by the tag)</tag>
Where tag names the HTML tags, attribute is the name of the attribute, set to the provided value.
