HTML Structure

HTML 5 Main Elements

Web pages are built by writing Elements.

Elements are the building blocks of HTML 5 and they tell Web Browsers how to read and display the html code.

We will learn about these elements one by one.

All HTML 5 documents start with <!DOCTYPE html>.

This tells Web Browsers that it is an HTML 5 document.

After <!DOCTYPE html> comes the html element.

Html Element starts with the Starting Tag (also known as Opening Tag) i.e <html>.

The complete code for Web Page goes after this.

Html Element ends with Ending Tag (also known as Closing Tag) i.e </html>.

Closing an element is very simple as we have to add just a forward slash (/) after < .

Important information such as title, character set and languages etc is provided in head element.

Head Element starts with the Starting/ Closing Tag i.e <head>.

Head Element ends with Ending Tag/ Closing Tag i.e </head>.

Body element contains complete contents of the Web Page which are displayed to the user.

Body Element starts with the Starting/ Closing Tag i.e <body>.
