                 WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. This type of editor allows the developer to
                 see what the end result will look like when the document is created. These editors provide various
                 tools and graphical interfaces where the web pages are designed. Examples of WYSIWYG editors are

                 Adobe Dreamweaver, Amaya and Google Web Designer.

                 These tags also have their attributes. Let us learn more about tags and attributes.

                      Tags

                 Tags are the basic building blocks of a web page. They tell the browser how the information is to be
                 displayed on the web page. Tags do not appear in the browser window but they affect the display of
                 the text and non-text items in it. Each tag in HTML follows specific rules and syntax. HTML tags are not
                 case-sensitive.
