In this article I’ll show you the basic structure of an HTML5 Document. Look at the following code, which is a very basic example of an HTML5-page.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title> This Text will be shown as the Browsers Tab Heading </title> </head> <body> Here comes the HTML, which will be displayed in the browser. </body> </html> |
In the first line you’ll find the DOCTYPE
<!DOCTYPE html> |
This tells the browser that the document contains HTML5 markup.
The HTML document starts width <html> and ends with </html>.
Between the HTML-Tags you can see the <head>-Section.
The <head>-Section contains document-wide information like meta-tags, the <title> or some CSS or Javascript-includes.
Next is the <body>-Section.
The <body>-Section contains all the HTML, which will be displayed in the browser.
