`<tag>`

Renders enclosed text as an opening tag, `< >`

<tag> is a Paragraph Markup component that wraps its enclosed text in opening-tag delimiters (< ... >), rendering as <p> would appear written in source. Use it to refer to component tags in prose without DoenetML trying to parse them.

It has two siblings for the other tag shapes:

<tage> — self-closing form, e.g. <image/>.
<tagc> — closing form, e.g. </p>.

Using these components rather than literal < / > characters keeps the prose well-formed and lets the renderer style the names consistently.

Examples

Example: Use the tag-family components for correct rendering

The author’s intention is to describe the use of the <p> and <image/> tags in writing HTML. <tag> renders the opening form, <tagc> the closing form, and <tage> the self-closing form (each linked in the intro above).
