HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. It describes the structure of a Web page.
Structure of HTML document
Every HTML document consists of four basic structure elements: html, head, title, and body. Each of these is explored in detail below:
1. Html Element
- Start tag:
<html>- First tag in the document which declares you are writing an HTML element. - End tag:
</html>- Last tag in the document.
2. Head Element
- Start tag:
<head>- Second tag, follows the<html>tag, and starts the head section, which describes the document. - End tag:
</head>- Fifth tag, follows the</title>tag and closes the head section.
3. Title Element
- Start tag:
<title>- Third tag, follows the<head>tag, and contains the title you want for the document. This information will be displayed in the title bar at the top of the browser window. - End tag:
</title>- Fourth tag, immediately follows, without any spaces, the title you want for the document and precedes the</head>tag.
4. Body Element
- Start tag:
<body>- Sixth tag, follows the</head>tag to denote starting the content of the document. - End tag:
</body>- Next to last tag in the document, follows the end of the document content and precedes the</html>tag.
E.g.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
