Explain the basic structure of an HTML document with the help of an example. |

Answer» Structure of an HTML Document An HTML document has two main parts: the head and the body. But firstly every HTML document should start by declaring that it is an HTML document. These tags are of the form: <html> Should appear at the beginning of your document. </html> Should appear at the end of your document. HTML Tags This leads us nicely on to say more about [X]HTML tags. All formatting tags (or elements) are of the general form: <tag_on> Switches the tag sequence on. For example, to bold some text add a <strong> at the beginning of the text. </tag_off> Switches the tag sequence off. The tag_on and tag_off tags are the same except the off tag has an / character in front of it. For example, to switch off the bolding add a </strong> character sequence at the end of the text that is to be given the attribute of bolding. Note: HTML is a case insensitive mark-up language, i.e. as far as all browsers are concerned the tags <HTML> and <html> are indistinguishable. However XHTML uses only lowercase tags which will be used throughout this course. |
