+@name Developer Guide: Angular HTML Compiler: Understanding Angular Widgets
+@description
+
+
+Widgets are DOM elements that the browser doesn't already understand. Angular provides some
+built-in widgets (such as {@link api/angular.widget.@ng:repeat ng:repeat}), and you can create your
+own custom widgets.
+
+
+Widgets are intended to manipulate the DOM tree by adding new elements (unlike {@link
+dev_guide.compiler.directives angular directives}, which are intended to modify only element
+properties).
+
+
+Widgets come in two types:
+
+
+* Element Widget — A custom DOM element.  An example of a custom element is shown in {@link
+dev_guide.compiler.widgets.creating_widgets Creating Custom Widgets}.
+
+
+* Attribute Widget — A custom attribute on an existing DOM element.  An attribute widget is similar
+to an angular directive, with the main difference being that an attribute widget will always be
+processed before any directives that are specified on the same element.  Only one attribute widget
+is allowed per element.  An example of an attribute widget is shown in {@link
+dev_guide.compiler.widgets.creating_widgets Creating Custom Widgets}.
