Using MVC 6 Tag Helpers in MVC 5

Tag Helpers are a nice substitute for HTML Helpers in ASP.NET. Code is much easier to read when they're employed. To my knowledge, they're available in ASP.NET Core (formerly ASP.NET 5) MVC 6.



Is it possible to use tag helpers in ASP.NET 4.x MVC 5? If so, then how do I go about doing it?



If not, is there a way to write code to create your own tag helpers for ASP.NET 4.x MVC 5?
