Most of the elements with the same names from HTML4 are the same in every way in
HTML5, but some have slightly modii ed meanings. Also, rules for some tags have changed.
For example, in creating tables, the tag for specifying a row <tr> no longer requires a closing
</tr> tag. Some attributes for elements have changed as well. As you continue to learn about
the new features of HTML5, you'll i nd that many of the “old” elements have lots of new
characteristics. h e following HTML table script provides a new example with old elements.
