WE START:
Welcome to another post.
We will see some basic tools for creating a web page; We talk about what are HTML tags and comments and attributes.
These are too important when developing the site, since literally the site structure it depends on at least the tags and attributes. We will explain all this very clearly. Let's go!

HTML tags
An HTML tag it is basically a statement that is given to the code to open a new statement.
Each label has an opening and a closing, and between these two declared labels, is where the sentence or instruction to be executed will go.
An opening tag is accompanied by less what ("<") and greater what (">"), and in between is the name of the statement.
On the other hand, a closing tag is accompanied by the same as the opening tag, with the only difference that after the minor what tag ("<"), a slash ("/") is declared.
Let's see an example in order to clarify any doubts:
Suppose we want to instruct the browser that write the following text: "I'm learning the basics of HTML tags."
For it, the label called "p" is used, which for its English translation, would be "paragraph" (paragraph). So, it would be placed like this:
<p>I'm learning the basics of HTML tags</p>
The first tag is the opening; the second, putting the slash ("/"), would be the closing of the same instruction; and what is in the middle of both is what will do.
Attributes in HTML
HTML attributes they are the way to make the language understand the properties of a label.
These properties interpret the element on the web pageThese are usually letters, numbers, or a word. It depends on the labels is the change that the text will receive.
Let's take an example with the tag <p>:
Suppose we want align text to the right. For that we will have to use the attribute «style» (style in Spanish), and inside it, place that instruction:
<p style="text-align:right;">I am learning the attributes of a tag in HTML.</p>
As we can see, the attribute statement is between = »».
There are many more attributes, but you will discover that as time goes by in your learning in this layout language.
Comments in HTML
A comment does not affect what the end user sees on your website.
It is to place a comment text in your site's HTML code, which the user will not be able to see at all, unless, as you already know, he accesses the source code of the site and sees it; but these users are more experienced than a normal surfer, so to speak.
Commonly a comment is used in the HTML of a website to be able to place certain actions of the progress or advance of the same, or to describe certain functionality of the website.
This estructure is the next one:
What we want to comment on is placed between those special HTML tags.
How could we bring this to real life? Well, very simple:
We return to the example of the label <p>, applying the comments inside the HTML:
It's that simple, the naked eye will not see it. You have done well!
