HTML attributes
• A language construct that programmers use
to add additional information (i.e., metadata)
to code elements (e.g., assemblies, modules,
members, types, return values, and
parameters) to extend their functionality.
• Attributes are written immediately following
the tag
• Multiple attributes can be associated

Types of HTML tag – Paired tag
• A tag is said to be a paired tag if the text is
placed between a tag and its companion tag.
• In paired tags, the first tag is referred to as
Opening Tag and the second tag is referred to
as Closing Tag.
– Example: <i>This text is in italics. </i>
– Note: Here,
• <i> is called opening tag
• </i> is called closing tag.
