What Is A Tag?

[carmel1]

In HTML, a tag tells the browser what to do. When you write an HTML page, you enter tags for many reasons -- to change the appearance of text, to show a graphic, or to make a link to another page.

Tags are HTML behaviors that tell the browser what to do.

Think of tags as commands. For example if you want a line of text to be bold. You will put a tag at the exact point you want the bold lettering to start <bold>and another tag where you want the bold lettering to stop.</bold> There you have an example of how tags make commands and tell the browser how to display the text. Just like telling a dog to sit. You give the command.

All tags that are opened must correspondingly be closed, just as if you are writing a quoted statement with those "inverted commas". A tag is closed this way </tag> therefore we open a new tag <bold> and close the tag </bold>

A tag is the main property of HTML or any markup language ... without a tag any document will be a simple document like any notepad or word document. Every language has different tag in all the language. For example " <b> " it's tag in HTML to bold the content. There are so many tag for different type of use.

TAG

HTML tags (otherwise known as "HTML elements"), and their respective attributes are used to create HTML documents so that you can view them in browsers and other user agents. Note that not all browsers/user agents support all HTML tags and their attributes, so you should try to test your pages in as many browsers as you can.

Tags are the commands that give HTML documents their functionality. They consist of commands placed within < and &gt. Some tags work by placing a start and stop tag at each end of the desired text, such as below <big&gt.This makes the text bigger <big&gt.The stop tags are often the same as the start with the addition of "/" at the beginning of the stop tag. Using both of these tags places the desired text in a container. But not all tags need to use a container, and thus don't need a stop tag. In the glossary below you will find a "</>" next to the tags that require a stop tag.

The <a> tag defines an anchor. An anchor can be used in two ways:

To create a link to another document, by using the href attribute
To create a bookmark inside a document, by using the name attribute
The a element is usually referred to as a link or a hyperlink.

The most important attribute of the a element is the href attribute, which indicates the link’s destination.

By default, links will appear as follows in all browsers:

An unvisited link is underlined and blue
A visited link is underlined and purple
An active link is underlined and red

A command inserted in a document that specifies how the document, or a portion of the document, should be formatted. Tags are used by all format specifications that store documents as text files. This includes SGML and HTML.

A tag is a word or phrase used to group similar records together. You can search by that word or phrase to locate that type of record at a later time. For instance, if you tag two records with the word “vendor," a search for the word “vendor� will display those records. We like to think of tags as virtual paperclips. Feel free to do the same!
