Attributes + Hyperlinking

HTML attributes

HTML attributes provide additional information about an HTML element. Attributes can be considered as properties of the element. An element may have a single attribute, many attributes, or no attributes at all.

Let’s take a look at an example heading with a title attribute:

<h2 title="This is a subheading">Hello, World!</h2>

Attributes are placed in the opening tag, with a space after the element declaration (or another attribute, if there are multiple) and are defined using the following format:

<tagName attribute_name="attribute_value"></tagName>

The attribute name is always followed by an = sign and the attribute value is always wrapped in quotation marks. There are no spaces between the attribute name, = sign, and the attribute value.
