# What are tags for?

  • They enable various native browser actions: for example, a text inside the <a> tag will be clickable and will help us to link documents together.

  • Depending on the tag chosen, the browser applies some styles by default, in the case of <a> we will see blue and underlined text.

  • They fulfill a semantic and essential function for the accessibility of a site: according to the tag used, screen readers will give options that will allow users to interact with these elements. For example, when browsing a link they will give you the option to click.

  • Through attributes we can also assign styles (CSS) or interaction (JS) to them.
