See the Course Outline and RegisterAt it's simplest, an HTML document contains what can
be thought of as a skeleton — the main structure of the page.
It looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Every HTML document contains two main parts: the <head>
element and the <body> element.
<head> ElementThe <head> element contains content that is
not displayed on the page itself. Some of the elements
commonly found in the <head> are:
<title>). Browsers
typically show the title in the "title bar" at the
top of the browser window.
<meta>).
<script>).
<link>).<body> ElementThe <body> element contains all the content
that appears on the page itself. Tags that can be placed
within the scope of body tag will be covered in other how-tos.
