The Webmaster's Lexicon: T

Table	An HTML tag used for element layout. Tables are useful not only for the desirable capability of organising tabular data such as statistics by row and column, but especially for the feature of laying out any element of the HTML language. Heading Heading cell cell cell cell
Tag	Markup that delimits an element. A tag includes a name which refers to an element declaration in the DTD, and include attributes. SGML Tags are used to define elements in HTML. Most tags have both a start tag, such as <LI> and a corresponding end tag, such as</LI>. Typographic tags like <B> for "bold" or <I> for "italic" describe the appearance of the text; idiomatic tags like <EM> for "emphasize" or <STRONG> for "strongly emphasize" describe the reason for the appearance change. Different browsers may choose different appearances for the same idiomatic tag.
Tar	tar archive A UNIX utility used to join many files into one file usually for the purpose of moving those files to another location.
Text elements	The contents of the file represented as printed words on a web page. These elements by themselves don't cause paragraph breaks - a paragraph tag (<p>) must be used. Text level elements that define character styles can generally be nested. They can contain other text level elements but not block elements.
Textarea	A form attribute tag which defines a data entry space with multiple rows.
Time	A Perl function that returns the number of non-leap seconds since whatever time the system considers to be the epoch (that's 00:00:00, January 1, 1904 for MacOS, and 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970 for most other systems).
Title	An HTML tag used in the Head area to name the web page. The length of titles is unlimited, however, long titles may be truncated in some applications. To minimize this possibility, keep titles to fewer than 64 characters. Many applications, particularly robots, collect and analyze titles. The more meaningful a title is, the more useful it becomes when someone tries to search for it in a search engine.
Tool	Software programs used to support web site creation and management.
