Skeletal Tags

Let's discuss some basic HTML tags known as "skeletal tags".

<html> Tag: "Root of an HTML Page"

Syntax:

<html>
  <!-- Content -->
</html>

The <html> tag is the root element that wraps all the content on the page. It generally contains two main sections: the header (<head>...</head>) and the body (<body>...</body>).

<head> Tag: "Header Part of an HTML Page"

Syntax:

<head>
  <!-- Header Content --> 
</head>

The <head> tag contains meta information and the title of the document. While the title appears in the browser tab, meta information is often used for SEO purposes.

<title> Tag: "Title Part of an HTML Page"

Syntax:

<title>
  // Title Name
</title>

The <title> tag defines the title of the document, which is displayed in the browser's title tab.

<body> Tag: "Body Part of an HTML Page"

Syntax:

<body>
  // Body Content
</body>

The <body> tag encloses the main content of the page, and everything within this tag is displayed in the browser.
