| + | ===== Definition ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | A **tag** is an [[HTML]] element. They are put in angle brackets and are used to mark up text elements. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tags need to be opened (e.g. ''<a>'') and closed (e.g. ''</a>'') in order to be interpreted correctly. Tags that aren't opened and closed correctly create errors in the source code and can lead to display problems in the browser. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Example** | ||
| + | |||
| + | The ''<p>'' tag is used to mark up separate paragraphs: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html><p>This text should be displayed as a paragraph with a line break at its end.</p></html> | ||
