•html
The code below shows the basic structure of a web document:
Content tags between <html> and </html>
The content between <head> and </head> tags the metadata of the web page
<body> and </body> mark visible web content
The <!DOCTYPE> declaration helps browsers display web pages correctly.
Many different documents exist in the web world. Only by understanding the type of document can the browser display the document correctly.
There are also many different versions of HTML. Only by fully understanding the exact HTML version used in the page can the browser display the HTML page completely correctly. This is what <!DOCTYPE> is for.
