Understanding Basic HTML

Step 1. Basic Html

All html will be in this standard format:

<html>

This is the beginning of html codes

<head>

This is the beginning of the header code :. meta tags, javascript, and other markups will be placed here

<title>Your Site Title</title>

The title is placed between the header code

</head>

This the end header tag code

<body>

This the begin body tag code :. all website content is placed here
</body> This is the end body tag code
</html> This is the end html title code

Note Note: Every html tag starts with a < and ends with a > This simply allows your web browser to distinguish text between code

Just if you're wondering the text above may look like <html> but the code for it is &lt;html&gt;

Note The (&) is sometimes used for special characters in html code.


In html, every opening tag has an ending tag. i.e. the opening tag title <title> has and ending tag </title>

All opening and ending tags with be in this for <tag name> content here </tag name>
