Anatomy of an HTML File
You understand what tags and container tags are, here's how to make an HTML file the right way: identify your file as an HTML file by enclosing the entire thing in the <html> container tag-- in other words, stick an <html> start tag at the top of your file and an </html> end tag at the bottom.
Technically, the <html> tag can only contain two things: a <head> container tag, and a <body> container tag. Inside the <body> tag is where you put your whole page. All displayed text, images, hyperlinks, and so on, are contained between the <body> and </body> tags.
The optional <head> section, placed before the <body> section, lets you store certain information about the document itself. When the <head> section even exists at all, it might contain only the <title> container tag, which says what to display in the title of the browser window, above the menu bar (if you have a graphical browser). For example, this page has a title of "HTML Made Really Easy".
So a simple "hello, world" HTML file, with title, would be
don't want a title, leave out the lines beginning with <head>, <title>, and </head>.Code:<html> <head> <title>hello, world</title> </head> <body> hello, world. </body> </html>
If this is confusing, Just stick the text <html><body> at the beginning of your file and </body></html> at the end, and it will magically become a legitimate HTML file.
