<tagname>content</tagname>
- HTML tags normally come in pairs like <p> and </p>
- The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
- The end tag is written like the start tag, but with a slash before the tag name
The start tag is often called the opening tag. The end tag is often called the closing tag.Web Browsers
The purpose of a web browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari) is to read HTML documents and display them.The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses them to determine how to display the document
HTML Page Structure
Below is a visualization of an HTML page structure:<html>
<head>
</html>
<title>Page title</title>
</head>
Only the <body> area (the white area) is displayed by the browser.The <!DOCTYPE> Declaration
The <!DOCTYPE> declaration helps the browser to display a web page correctly.There are different document types on the web.
To display a document correctly, the browser must know both type and version.
The doctype declaration is not case sensitive. All cases are acceptable:
<!DOCTYPE html>
