STRUCTURE OF AN HTML5 DOCUMENT
The basic structure of an HTML document is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Title of the web page</TITLE> Head Section
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Content of the Web page Body Section
</BODY>
</HTML>
THE <!DOCTYPE HTML> TAG
All HTML5 documents start with <!DOCTYPE HTML>, telling the browser to interpret the document
as HTML5.
THE <HTML> TAG
The <HTML> tag is the root of an HTML document. The <HTML> tag is the container tag for all other
HTML elements, except for the <!DOCTYPE HTML> declaration.
THE <HEAD> TAG
The <HEAD> tag contains metadata about the web page. It includes tags that provide information
about the web page but are not displayed directly on the page itself. Tags that can be placed
inside the <HEAD> tag include <TITLE>, <STYLE>, <SCRIPT> and <META>.
THE <TITLE> TAG
The <TITLE> tag is a container tag. It defines the title of the document. It can only contain text and
it is displayed on the web browser’s title bar or the page’s tab.
