HTML TD Tag

In HTML, the <td> stands for table data.

• The <td> tag defines a standard cell of a table that contains data.
• By default, text inside starting and ending <td> tag is left-aligned and is regular.

The <td> tag requires the start(opening) tag and end(closing) tag.

Following is the syntax for using the <td> tag in your HTML code:

<table>
