Scientific Notebook is a web application. Because of this, it follows the same model that is used in HTML (HyperText Markup Language), the language used for World Wide Web documents. The word tag comes from HTML.
The collection of tags used in a document is called a style. If
you're familiar with Microsoft Word
, the styles in
Microsoft Word are very similar to tags in Scientific Notebook and in HTML.
In fact, if you know how to use styles in Microsoft Word, you'll understand
Scientific Notebook's tags very quickly.
