A [[Html tag|markup tag]] is an open < and a close > angle brackets and the content within them, in a markup language, as [[XML]] or [[HTML]]:

:For example, the '''<title>''' tag provides a title for the Web page.

This template provides a quick way to mention a markup-style tag in a preformatted way. Mainly used in discussion/help pages.
