Required tags

Every HTML document should contain four standard tags, with their corresponding closing tags:

The <HTML> tag tells the browser that it's reading an HTML document. Every HTML document must begin and end with this tag.

The <HEAD> tag is used to mark important information (including the title of the document) which will not be visible in the main page.

The <TITLE> tag should be contained within the <HEAD> tags. It is used to mark the title of the document, which appears on the title bar of the browser window, and is also used when bookmarking a page.

The <BODY> tag is used to mark the beginning and end of the content of the document.

The most basic template for a Web page would look like this:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
My HTML Document</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
This is my HTML document.
</BODY>
</HTML>
