Being a beginner to Polymer, I'm trying to understand syntax. I see the following in polymer-starter-kit:

<iron-icon icon="home"></iron-icon>

</a>

where can I find documentation for anchor tag with "data-route" attribute? Is this Anchor tag as extended by Polymer?

Thanks

Your snippet is incomplete, if you look at the entire file you will see a selector of some sort, iron-pages, paper-menu etc... that has attr-for-selected="data-route"

data attributes are just an HTML5 feature that is being leveraged here...

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Using_data_attributes

Also, in the web starter kit also look at app/elements/routing.html and see how page.js is being used to perform routing. It should be clearer.
