Attributes

Attributes are required to add more information to the tags for e.g setting the colour , background etc.

Key points about an attribute

1. They always appear in the start tag and will never be a part of the end tag
2. More than one attribute can be specified for a single tag
3. The attribute is made up of  three parts : they are Name, equal to sign (=) and value
4. There are some attributes that can be used with  all tags but will have no effect on some. Such attributes are called global
