Using these tags, we can provide browsers with basic indications such as “this is a table”, “this is a list item”, or “this is a level 3 title”. In addition to these tags, “class attributes” are indicators used by style sheets to define page’s appearance on screen or on paper, such as “block position”, “item colour”…
