For example, there are add-ons for many text editors that automatically insert the correct tags when you select a particular menu option. Many find this an appropriate balance. There are also some utilities that fill in some, but not all, of the HTML in a document. I've used this type of tool in building this site. Tags Almost all markup in HTML is done with tags, small pieces of text that indicate the role of a piece of text.
Some tags come in pairs, and surround that piece of text.
One tag marks the begining of that piece of text, and another marks the end. Some tags can appear by themselves. Often, these indicate an object that should be inserted, rather than text to be annotated. We'll discuss the individual tags as we begin to write HTML documents. This page written by Samuel A.
