There is no end tag.

Attributes

class=type

Indicates the class to which the tag belongs. You can use the class attribute in a style sheet to create different styles that you want apply to a single HTML tag. For example, you might create three different styles for a heading <hn> tag. See Using the class attribute as a selector for more details.

clear=none|left|right|all

Use this attribute if you want to wrap text around a graphic. It makes the new line start below a graphic. The line break expands vertically until a clear left or right margin or until both margins are clear of the picture. The default is none.

id=value

Specifies a unique name for the tag. No two tags can have the same id on a single page. The value must begin with a letter followed by any alphanumeric character, a hyphen, an underscore, a colon or a full stop. You use it to reference a unique style for a tag or to manipulate the tag with a script.

style=style

Specifies style information. See Style sheets for more information.

title=text

For information only. Some browsers display the title when you move the mouse over the tag (like a tool tip).
