HTML MUST KNOW
(090911)

A tag is opened by enclosing its name within angle brackets (< example >).

A tag is closed by preceding its name with a forward slash (/) and enclosing all within angle brackets (< /example >).

In general, the tags should be opened and closed, with some exceptions.

Upper or lower case is accepted (no mixing within tag); except as noted below in italics.

Tags are embedded among them (< TR >< TD > ... ... ... < /TD >< /TR >)

A tag may have one or more attributes (listed on the right column).

Attributes may or may not be enclosed within double quotes (Ex: WIDTH=80% or WIDTH="80%" are both valid; WIDTH=80%" is not valid).
