In this section, Iam going to discuss about the basic structure of HTML web page. HTML5 document is very similar to HTML web pages.
Basic Structure of HTML5 document
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
//meta data goes here
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE> declaration is not a HTML tag. <!DOCTYPE> tells or instructs the web browser that what HTML version is using. It must be the first thing of the web page before the tag HTML is writing.
The browser will understand what type of HTML document you are using if you add DOCTYPE to the web page.
The DOCTYPE Declaration is not case sensitive.
The HTML5 Webpage is greatly simplified compared to other earlier versions of HTML.
Most of the HTML5 web pages include a head section. The head section starts with <head> and ends with </head>. The metadata goes in between the head section of the HTML5 Document. The metadata will not display in the browser. Because of it a data about HTML documents. The metadata includes title, style, links, scripts and other meta information.
The head section also used for writing cascading style sheets(CSS) and also write javascript or jquery code
The html document beginnig with <html> and </html>
In the browser, the part of the HTML appears is <body></body> tags.
