End TagEnd tag is a term used in HTML to denote the end of a special instruction. Tags, in general, are used in HTML to mark the beginning and end of special instructions. Tags have names and are enclosed in angle brackets (<>). For example, "<B>" is the Bold Tag in HTML. Adding a forward slash (/) to a tag turns it into an end tag. Using the tag without the forward slash automatically makes the tag the beginning tag. For example "WWW" would cause the text "WWW" to be boldfaced. A browser would "turn on" bolding when it encountered the "<B>" instruction and turn it off when it encountered the "</B>" tag. How the bolding is interpreted and displayed is up to the individual browser.
