In general, tags are characters inserted in a document of some type in order to apply some formatting to a set of characters or to indicate that a set of characters needs some sort of special handling. Collectively, tags are often referred to as markup.

Different styles of tags are used in different environments. For example, HTML tags are surrounded by angle brackets (also known as "less than" and "greater than" signs), while BBCode tags are surrounded with square brackets, and a variety of tag styles are used in DP Wiki and the DP Proofreading Interface.
