That's a worry.

Not esoteric, just plain wrong.

There are no HTML "codes". And what determines the appearence of the
document contents is HTML elements, not tags. Tags are simply a part of the
HTML element. And tags don't contain codes either, They have attribute/value
pairs.

A two sided tag? No such thing. Probably what they mean is an element with
an opening *and* a closing tag.

17,000,000 colours? Exactly? Hardly, it's actually 16,777,216.

Ask for your money back. They obvously don't know what they are talking
about.

Even the elements don't for the most part determine the appearance of
the document. The appearance is determined by the browser's default
manner for treating each element (whether that treatment is coded inside
the rendering engine based directly on the elements or via a default
browser stylesheet with entries for every element), as altered by the
application of user and author stylesheets and inline styles.

Granted, there are HTML *attributes* that deal with appearance, such as
width in a TD tag or color in a FONT tag.

A two sided tag? No such thing. Probably what they mean is an element with
an opening *and* a closing tag.

But all the elements (DL, DT, DD, LI) given as choices have both opening
and closing tags. It's a weird question.
