ppery" is an attribute of the rectangle tag. =0A=0AA common way to identify=
 a rectangle is by giving the coordinates of the upper left corner, its wid=
th and its height. If you went this route, the tag would look like this:=0A=
=0A<rectangle x=3D"10" y=3D"10" width=3D"62" height=3D"68"/>=0A=0A>2.=0A>=
