| These are the tags
required in every Web page. (Note: some are not technically required by
the HTML specification, but some browsers will not render correctly without
them, so it is always better to leave them in than out - the space you save is
not worth the problems you might cause.)
HTML
The first tag that any Web page must have is the HTML tag. It tells the browser
that the following text will be marked up in HTML format, and not some other
format such as straight text, SGML, or XML. The closing tag /HTML is required
and is the last tag in your document.
HEAD
The HEAD tag is used to define information for the browser that may or may not
be displayed to the user. Tags that belong in the HEAD section are TITLE, META,
SCRIPT, and STYLE. The closing tag /HEAD is required.
TITLE
The TITLE tag belongs in the HEAD section of your document. It is the title of
your Web page, and is usually displayed by the browser at the top of the
browser pane. The closing tag /TITLE is required.
BODY
The BODY tag is where all your HTML information belongs. It defines the primary
portion of your Web page. With attributes of the BODY tag, you can define the
background color of your Web pages, the text color, the link color, and the
active and visited link colors. The closing tag /BODY is required.
A sample Web page would look like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
This is the title of the page.
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
The body text goes here.
</BODY>
</HTML>
