==Standard attributes==

''Standard attributes'' are also known as ''global attributes'', and canfunction be used inwith a large number of element classeselements.<ref name="globalattribute">{{cite web|url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes |title=Global attributes - HTML (HyperText Markup Language) MDN |date=|accessdate=2015-02-12}}</ref> They include the basic standard attributes: these include ''accesskey, class, contenteditable, contextmenu, data, dir, hidden, id, lang, style, tabindex, title, translate''. There are also some experimental ones. Both ''xml:lang'' and ''xml:base'' have been deprecated. The multiple ''aria-*'' attributes improve accessibility.<ref name="globalattribute"/> The event handler attributes are listed later on.

Technically all standard attributes must be accepted by all elements, though they will not function with some element classeselements.<ref name="HTMLReference">{{cite web | url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference | title=HTML reference - HTML (HyperText Markup Language) MDN | accessdate=13 February 2015}}</ref> The table below lists some common standard attributes, and some tags they can function with.
