A txexpr is a list with a symbol in the first position— the @italic{tag} — followed by a series of @italic{elements}, which are other X-expressions. Optionally, a txexpr can have a list of @italic{attributes} in the second position.
A tagged X-expression — @italic{txexpr} for short — is a list with a symbol in the first position— the @italic{tag} — followed by a series of @italic{elements}, which are other X-expressions. Optionally, a txexpr can have a list of @italic{attributes} in the second position.
The last one is a common mistake. Because the key–value pair is not enclosed in a @racket[list], it's interpreted as a nested txexpr within the first txexpr, as you may not find out until you try to read its attributes:

After converting to and from HTML, we get back the original X-expression. Well, almost. The brackets turned into parentheses — no big deal, since they mean the same thing in Racket. Also, per its usual practice, @racket[string->xexpr] added an empty attribute list after @racket[em]. This is also benign.
