    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.
