These tags are also called the opening and closing tags. Empty tags Tags that stand alone. Empty tags are those that do not directly format a specified block of text, and therefore one tag can execute the instruction. For example, if you want to create a line break, you insert the br tag at the point you want the break to occur. Empty tags are also referred to as self-closing tags What constitutes a tag? An Element, An Attribute, A value An element Provides the main instruction of the tag. An element is required in every tag. An attribute specifies a quality or describes a certain aspect of the element. For example, a hyperlink is added to a Web page by using the a, or anchor, element. The href attribute is added, which identifies the hyperlink reference. Many elements require specified attributes, but some do not. An attribute is required in a tag only if the element requires it. A value Gives value to the element and its attribute. For example, a href="" has a value that instructs the hyperlink to access the Amazon Website. Values are used only with attributes; elements do not take values directly. Values should be surrounded by quotation marks; they are not required, but placing values in quotations is considered good coding practice.
