RULES FOR WRITING HTML5 CODES

                 There are certain rules for writing HTML5 codes. Let us learn more about them:
                    Container tags should always be closed properly.
                    Values given to the attributes should be enclosed within double quotes.
                    The tag name should not contain spaces.

                    There should be no spaces between < and > in a tag.
                    Tags must be nested correctly using the LIFO principle.

                     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. An 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>
                 An HTML page is divided into two sections called Head and Body.
                     Head contains the information about the document, such as the title of the page, links to

                   stylesheets, and other data that is not directly visible to the user 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  (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge,
                 Mozilla Firefox etc.).  Every  web page coding must start with the <html> tag and end with
                 the </html> tag.
