HTML Initial tags

<html>
This tag is used to indicate that this is an HTML document. Most HTML documents should start and end with this tag.

<head>
This tag is used to indicate the header section of the HTML document, which typically includes the <title> and <meta> tags, and is not displayed in the main window of the browser.

<title>
This indicates the title of this HTML page. The title is what is displayed on the upper left corner of your browser when you view a web page.
The title tag is important when it comes to search engine ranking. Many of the search engines pay special attention to the text in the <title> tag. This is because (logically) that words in the <title> tag indicate what the page content is.

<body>

The <body> tag includes the HTML body of the document. Everything inside the <body> tag (other than those within the <script> tag) is displayed on the browser inside the main browser window.

The <body> tag may contain several attributes. The most commonly used ones are listed below:
* bgcolor: This is the background color of the entire HTML document, and may be specified either by the color name directly or by the six-digit hex code.
* alink: The color of the links.
* vlink: The color of the visited links.
* topmargin: The margin from the top of the browser window.
* leftmargin: The margin from the left of the browser window.

So, in general, all HTML documents have the following format:

<html>
<head>

Here is the title of the HTML document.
