In this article we are going to explain the structure of html document. Means the basic structure of the html document is how looks behind the web page. HTML is a markup language and uses various tags to format the content. The entire web page is enclosed within <HTML> </HTML> tags. Within these tags there are two distinct sections are created using the <HEAD> </HEAD> tags and the <BODY></BODY> tags.

Content of the Page.

</HTML>
The various parts of HTML documents are as follows :-
HTML Tag:-
This tag comes after the <! DOCTYPE> tag and identifies the document as an HTML document. This tag is optional and even if it is not explicitly included, most browser assume its existence. But it is good practice to include this tag. The <HTML> tag identifies the document as an HTML document. An HTML document begins with <HTML> and ends with </HTML>.
HEAD Tag :-
The <HEAD> tag contains information about the document, including its title, scripts used, style definition and document description. The portion enclosed between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags is called the header. The header of a document is where global settings are defined.
TITLE Tag :-
The <TITLE> tag contains the document title. Text included b/w the <TITLE>……….</TITLE> tag shows up in the title bar of the browser window. The title does not appears within the browser window, since it is visible in the browser's title bar. Only one title is allowed per page.
BODY Tag :-
This tag encloses all tags, attributes and information that one wants the browser to display. To use the <BODY> tag, enter it below the closing </HEAD> tag and above the closing </HTML> tag. In the <BODY> tag it includes the main content of the page like paragraphs, headings, images, video clips, audio clips and etc.
