HTML Document Structure

Every HTML page you create should start with the following tags. (Most authoring tools will automatically insert them for you when you start a new page.)

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>

The opening and closing <HTML> </HTML> tags identify the content in between as HyperText Markup Language.

The <HEAD> </HEAD> tags identify the heading section of the document. The heading area is used to store information about the document. You don't have to include a heading section if you don't have anything to put in it. Web browsers don't display anything between these two tags, but they may use information stored there to affect how later parts of the document are formatted. You can also add information in the <HEAD> section for search portals to use, but we'll talk more about that in another article.

As you've probably guessed, the <BODY> </BODY> tags identify the main body of the HTML page. This is the meat of the document-the stuff that the browser will interpret and display. Most of the HTML you write will go between the opening and closing <BODY> tags.
