Close Tag


tag may refer to any of the following:

  • With HTML, XML, or other markup languages a tag is an element inserted into a document or file that changes the look of content or performs an action. Below is an HTML element with an open tag (start tag) showing the name and attribute and a close tag (end tag) showing a forward slash and open tag name.

  • Each tag is contained within a less than and greater than angle brackets and everything between the opening and closing tag is displayed or affected by the tag. In the above example, the tag is creating a link called "Computer Hope" that is pointing to the hope.html file.

  • For tags with no closing tag like the tag, it's best practice to end the tag with a forward slash, as shown below.



  • A tag is a short (usually one word) description of an HTML object or link. These tags are often placed in a tag cloud (weighted list or word cloud) to show the most popular website or blog words and help visitors find information of interest.

    The picture is an example of a tag cloud of the text contained on this page that was generated using the TagCrowd website.

  • A tag is a memory that acts as an index for L2 (Level 2) cache.
