The Minimal HTML Document
Before going any further, we need to tell you that you have been misled: the format used in your Web page is not the standard html tags that would be used. By this, we mean that any Web page should contain standard html and have the following format:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My First Homepage</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
In this body section is where most of the Web page appears
</BODY> (to end the body of your Web page)
</HTML> (used when you are done)
You should always remember that an html document starts with
<HTML>. Also, remember that a Web page is divided into two sections:
the HEAD and the BODY.
The TITLE of your Web page is included in the HEAD section .
The BODY contains most of the Web page contents.
Another important thing to recall is that the closing code of the body
</BODY> precedes that of the html document, </HTML>.
We did not want you to start with the standard html tags because we believe that it was much better to begin with simple html codes so you could have some ideas on how to create a Web page.
