The
HTML title tag is an important part of a document. Titles must describe the document's content as accurate as possible, but not being too long. Titles are defined in the head of the document.
Example:
Code begin

<title>The impact of drugs in modern society</title>
</head>
<body>
...A lot of writing about drugs and modern society...
</body>Code end
Specifies the language of an element's content. The default value in "unknown".
When writing
XHTML code the syntax "xml:lang" represents a preferred alternative in XHTML 1.0 and a replacement in XHTML 1.1 (e.g., xml:lang="en").
Example:
Code begin
<p lang="en">This is a paragraph in english.</p>
<p lang="es">Este es un párrafo en español.</p>
Code end
dir
