Basic Format for HTML document

Basic Format for HTML Documents

HTML documents must contain the following elements in the correct order as shown below. While a large number of additional tags and options are available, the outline shown below contains all of the elements that are required to create a Web page.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Place any title here</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Place text for Web page here. This text will be the only thing displayed when the page is viewed by the Web browser (Netscape, Microsoft Explorer, Mosaic, etc.).
</BODY>
</HTML>

If the above text is placed in a file (saved with a .htm extension) and viewed with a Web browser, the following page will result.

By adding only a small number of optional commands (Tags), it is possible to create much more aestically pleasing looking documents.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>A Somewhat Better Web Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffee" TEXT="#000000">
<H1> Level-1 Heading </H1>
<HR>

Shown above is a Horizontal Rule.

Text in the BODY section will be the only thing displayed
when the page is viewed by the Web browser
(Netscape, Microsoft Explorer, Mosaic, etc.).
<HR>

Thank you for visiting. 
This page was created before now 
and was written by somebody.
</BODY> </HTML>
