Document Structure

The way a document is marked up with elements and their attributes is according to a Document Type Definition (DTD). These are the rules that govern the way in which a document can be marked up.

The authoritative source for information about HTML and the HTML DTD is the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at http://www.w3.org. The World Wide Web Consortium is a not-for-profit organization that coordinates the evolution of the Web. It includes the Internet Engineering Task Force, the group of people who make recommendations for new markup.

 

A Basic Document

An tag called HTML(tag) surrounds the whole document. This element contains two sub-elements, HEAD and BODY. These elements are required to form any HTML document.

<html>
<head>
<title> Your Web Site </title>
<body>
</body>
</html>
<html>

<HEAD> has sub-elements that define header material:

<TITLE> document title. The title of your document is what appears in a web browser’s Favorite or Bookmark list. Your document’s title should be as descriptive as possible. Search engines on the Internet use the document’s title for indexing purposes.
</TITLE>

<BASE> can be used to record the document's location in the form of a URL. The URL recorded here may be used to resolve a relative URL (necessary if the document is not accessed in its original location).
</BASE>

<META> provides information such as the page’s keywords and description that appears in HTTP headers.
</META>
