Document Tags
HTML documents have a fairly simple structure. Each document is divided into two sections: a "head" and a "body." The head contains information about the document, while the body contains the document itself.
This division into sections is marked using HEAD and BODY tags, as follows:
<HEAD>
document header info goes here....
</HEAD>
<BODY>
the body of the document goes here...
</BODY>
Only certain tags are supposed to go into each section. For our purposes, the only tag that goes in the HEAD section is the TITLE tag (this is a paired tag). All of the rest of the tags we will discuss go only in the BODY. The closing BODY tag ("</BODY>") should be the last thing in an HTML document.
