The Document structure
The document opens with a tag defining the markup language, which is closed
at the end of the document:
<html>
<head>
<title>Fast Foxes</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The Document HEAD contains information ABOUT the document such as it’s
TITLE, which will be displayed in the top window bar when the page is viewed in
a browser:
<html>
<head>
<title>Fast Foxes</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The document BODY contains everything that is rendered in the browser
window:
<html>
<head>
<title>Fast Foxes</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>The quick brown <em>fox </em>
jumped over the <strong>lazy</strong>dog.</p>
</body>
</html>
Page properties
Attributes that apply to the entire document may be set as attributes of the
<body> tag. This includes background colour or image, text colour, link
colours and page margins.
(*Note: It is recommended that unless there is a specific reason to do so,
link colours should not be changed from the default, as this may adversely affect
ease of navigation for users accustomed to the default browser colours.)
eg, for the example above:
<body bg color=#330099 text color=white>
<p>The quick brown <em>fox </em>
jumped over the <strong>lazy</strong>dog.</p>
</body>
Meta tags
Meta tags are located in the <head> of the document, and provide a variety
of information about the document. Some of this information is used by search
engines in order to catalogue your document.
Eg:
<meta name="description" content="description of the web page content">
<meta name="keywords" content="keyword keyword keyword keyword keyword">
