    The <HTML> tag tells the web browser that the text contained between
                       <HTML>
                                            <HTML> and </HTML> is a web page and can be viewed using a web browser.

                                            The <HEAD> tag  represents  the  header  area  of the  document.  It  contains
                       <HEAD>               information  about  the  document  title,  scripts  and style  definitions  used  in
                                            the document.

                                            The  <TITLE>  tag represents the title  of the document and is used  inside  the
                       <TITLE>              <HEAD> tag. It appears on the title bar of the browser window. If you do not
                                            want to give title to your web page, you can skip it.

                                            The <BODY> tag defines that section of the HTML document which is visible on
                                            the web browser. It contains all other tags that define the content presentation
                       <BODY>
                                            elements  such as images, lists,  tables,  text  and links to  move  between  the
                                            webpages.

                                            Every chapter in a book has various headings and sub-headings. These are
                                            known as levels of headings. These are container tags with a start tag and
                       <Hn>                 an end tag. HTML can define up to 6 levels of headings from h1 to h6. <H1>
                                            represents the highest level of heading, whereas the <H6> tag in HTML is used
                                            to define the smallest or least important heading on a web page.

                                            The <P> tag defines start and end of a paragraph in the text. It is a container
                       <P>
                                            tag.

                                            The <BR> tag is  used  when you  want  to  start  a  new line, but  do  not  want
                       <BR>                 to  start  a new paragraph. This tag  is  also  known as line break.  It is  an
                                            empty tag.

                                            The <HR> tag is used when you want to divide your web page into different
                       <HR>
                                            sections. It is an empty tag and does not need an end tag.

                                            The <SUP> tag is used to turn the enclosed text into a superscript. For example,
                       <SUP>
                                                 2
                                            E=mc  is coded as  E=mc<SUP>2</SUP>
                                            The <SUB> tag is used to turn the enclosed text into a subscript. For example,
                       <SUB>
                                            H O is coded as  H<SUB>2</SUB>O
                                             2
                                            The <B> or <STRONG> tag in HTML is used to apply bold formatting to text.
                       <B> or <STRONG>      The content  enclosed  within the  <B> or <STRONG> tags  will be  displayed  in
                                            a bold typeface.

                                            The <I> or <EM> tag in HTML is used to apply italic formatting to text.
                       <I> and <EM>         Content enclosed within the <I> and <EM> tags will be displayed in an italicised
                                            typeface.
