Creating a Basic HTML document Attributes Tags
can also have attributes, which are extra bits of
information. Attributes appear inside the opening
tag and their value is always inside quotation
marks. They look something like lttag
attribute"value"gtMargarinelt/taggt. We will come
across tags with attributes later. Elements Tags
tend not to do much more than mark the beginning
and end of an element. Elements are the bits that
make up web pages. You would say, for example,
that everything that is in-between and includes
the ltbodygt and lt/bodygt tags is the body element.
As another example, whereas 'lttitlegt' and
'lt/titlegt' are tags, 'lttitlegtRumple
Stiltskinlt/titlegt' is a title element
