RULES FOR WRITING HTML5 CODES

                  There are certain rules for writing HTML codes. Lets us learn more about them:
                  •  Container tags should always be closed properly.
                  •  Values given to the attributes should be enclosed within the double quotes.
                  •  Tag name should not contain spaces.

                  •  There should be no spaces between < and > in a tag.
                  •  Tags must be nested correctly.


                         HTML5 DOCUMENT STRUCTURE

                  An HTML document is a text file containing markup tags. The markup tags tell the Web browser how

                  to display the web page. A HTML file is saved with .htm or .html extension.
                  Basic Structure of HTML Document is as follows:
                  <!DOCTYPE html>

                  <html>
                  <head>
                  <title>Title of the web page</title>

                  </head>
                  <body>
                  Content of the page
                  </body>
                  </html>
                  A HTML page is divided into two sections called Head and Body.
                  •  Head contains the information which is not to be shown on the web page.
                  •  Body contains the information which is to be shown on the web page.

                  HTML provides various tags such as <!DOCTYPE html>, <HTML>, <HEAD>, <TITLE>, <BODY>, and
                  many more. Let us discuss some tags in detail.


                       The <!DOCTYPE HTML> Tag

                  The <!DOCTYPE html> is not an element in HTML. It is a document type declaration that tells the
                  browser about  the  version  of  HTML.  It is  not  case-sensitive  which  means  you  can  write it  into
                  uppercase or lowercase.

                       The <HTML> Tag
                  The <HTML> tag tells the web browser that the text contained between <html> and </html> is a web
                  page and can be viewed using a web browser. Every web page coding must start with the <html> tag
                  and ends with the </html> tag.
