HTML Structure
Every HTML page has the same basic skeleton. Understanding this is the foundation of everything you'll build.
The Basic Skeleton — line by line
- 1
<!DOCTYPE html>— Tells the browser "This is HTML5." Always the very first line. - 2
<html>— The root element. Everything lives inside this tag. - 3
<head>— Invisible info about the page (title, styles, metadata). - 4
<title>— The text shown on the browser tab. - 5
<body>— Everything the user sees: text, images, links, buttons.
✅Tip: HTML tags come in pairs — an opening
<p> and a closing </p>. The closing tag has a forward slash.📝 Edit Code
