Basic Structure of an HTML Document

An HTML document follows a basic structure consisting of several elements. Here's a typical structure of an HTML document:


html

<!DOCTYPE html>: This line tells the browser which version of HTML the document is using. In this case, it's HTML5, the latest version of HTML;
<html>: This is the root element of the HTML document. All other elements are contained within this element;
<head>: This section contains meta-information about the document, such as the character encoding (<meta charset="UTF-8">) which ensures that special characters are displayed correctly, and the document title (<title>) which appears in the browser's title bar or tab;
<title>: This element sets the title of the document, which is displayed in the browser's title bar or tab;
<body>: This is where the web page's main content goes. You'll place text, images, links, forms, and other elements inside the <body> element. This is what users will see and interact with when they visit your web page.
