Basic HTML Page
HTML documents are made with various HTML elements and elements are made with opening and closing tags. To understand the basic building block of a HTML document we have provided an example of a simple basic HTML page.
<html>
<head>
<title>This is the title of the page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is the large heading of the page</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph of the page.</p>
</body>
</html>
The first line of the HTML document <!DOCTYPE html> is a declaration. It tells that this document is an HTML5 document.
<html> is the starting element of a HTML page. It is also known as a root element of an HTML page.
The <head> element is used to provide meta information about the HTML page.
The HTML element <title> is used to inform the title of the HTML page to the web browser. The content of the title element is shown on the title bar of the browser.
The next HTML element you noticed is the <body> element. It defines the body of the HTML document. All the visible content you are going to see on the screen is placed in this element. For example page headings, page paragraphs, lists, tables, images, hyperlinks etc.
The last element in the above example of an HTML document is <p>. It defines the paragraph.
