The HTML Document Structure
An HTML document has a specific structure that the browser understands. It’s like a recipe that tells the browser what to do.
The basic parts of an HTML document are:
- Doctype Declaration: Tells the browser this is an HTML document.
- HTML Tag: Contains all the content of the page.
- Head: Holds information about the page (like the title).
- Body: Holds the content visible to the user.
