Chapter 3: Primary Tags

To build any web page you will need four primary tags: <html>, <head>, <title> and <body>. These are all container tags and must appear as pairs with a beginning and an ending.

<html>…</html>
Every HTML document begins and ends with the <html> tag. This tells the browser that the following document is an html file. Remember, tags tell the browsers how to display information.

<head>…</head>
The <head> tag contains the title of the document along with general information about the file, like the author, copyright, keywords and/or a description of what appears on the page.

<title>…</title>
Appears within the <head> tag and gives the title of the page. Try to make your titles descriptive, but not more than 20 words in length. The title appears at the very top of the browser page on the title bar.

<body>…</body>
The main content of your page is placed within the body tags: your text, images, links, tables and so on.
