HTML 4.0 Standard Attributes
To amplify tags attributes are used.
What we mean by amplify is that when a web browser interprets a tag,
it will also search for set attributes and then display the element (tags+attributes) in its entirety.
At some point you may want to give your body element
a background color or perhaps change the width or of a table.
All of these things and more can be achieved using Attributes.
