Doron has it right, however, I wanna add a piece of extra info. You could actually turn the 'th' into anything you want when you declare the namespace. For instance, using:
<html xmlns:SOMETHINGELSE="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
in your namespace declaration would replace the use of 'th' with 'SOMETHINGELSE'

Courses Plus Student 1,616 PointsIt is an attribute of the namespace for Thymeleaf. You specified a namespace using xmlns which enables using attributes from the specified namespace. Then you use the th attribute to let Thymeleaf know about the href you want it to process.
