Tags

A HTML tag is a keyword (or letter) enclosed in greater-than and less-than characters. In addition to the keyword there may be "attributes". For example:

<tagname attribute=value> . . . text . . . </tagname>


<h1 align=center>A major section title</h1>
                                        end tag
           attribute value = center (centre)
     attribute = align[ment]
  start tag = heading one

Tags can be placed within other tags
Most tags are binary (they have a start tag and a end tag)
Some are unary (they have only one part), for exampe: <br>, <hr>
