Element Attributes

• An attribute is a piece of information in an element. Syntax:

  <element_name attribute_name="attribute_value">

• Attributes have names. Example: used is an attribute:

  <book used="no">

• The value is always quoted, in double or single quotes.

• There can be zero or more attributes. Here's an example with two:

  <book used="no" language="english">

• There are several types of attributes. These will be discussed in Chapter 2.
