<HTML> Tag

                  The <HTML> tag represents the root of the HTML document and it is the container for all other HTML
                  elements except for <!DOCTYPE HTML> tag.

                  <HEAD> Tag

                  The <HEAD> tag is used to define the head section of the HTML document. The data inside this tag is
                  not displayed on the web page but the browsers use this information.

                  <TITLE> Tag
                  The <TITLE> tag mentions the title of the HTML document. This tag is written inside the <HEAD> tag. The
                  title must be text-only and this title appears on the browser’s title bar.

                  <BODY> Tag

                  The <BODY>  tag  defines  the  HTML  document’s  body  which contains  all the  contents  of an HTML
                  document  such as paragraphs, images,  headings,  tables,  links to  other pages  etc.  Some  of the
                  important attributes of <BODY> tag are: bgcolor, text, background.
                  By default, the background colour of the web page is white and text is black. We can change this by
                  using the above-mentioned attributes. The background attribute is used to mention the name of the
                  image file which can be set as background for the web page.
                  Now let us see an example to create a simple HTML document.


                    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
                                                                                TITLE
                   <HTML>
                   <HEAD>

                   <TITLE> Learning HTML </TITLE>
                                                                                                               BODY
                   </HEAD>
                   <BODY>

                   </HTML>
