HTML tag

HTML tag is used to define a span of inline text with a non-textual annotation. It rendered as an solid underlined text, but it can be changed using CSS properties. This tag was deprecated in HTML 4.0 and redefined in HTML5.

In HTML5, tag is used to represent the text that is stylistically different with normal text.

Tips: The use of tag should be ignored as it may generate confusion for a hyperlinked text.
