Opens the page. No markup should come after the closing tag (</html>). The
lang attribute declares the primary language of the page using the ISO language
<html>
codes (en for English).
See the Content Language topic for more information.
Opens the head section, which does not appear in the main browser window but
mainly contains information about the HTML document, called metadata. It can
<head>
also contain imports from external stylesheets and scripts. The closing tag is
</head>.
Gives the browser some metadata about the document. The charset attribute
declares the character encoding. Modern HTML documents should always use
<meta> UTF-8, even though it is not a requirement. In HTML, the <meta> tag does not
require a closing tag.
See the Meta topic for more information.
The title of the page. Text written between this opening and the closing tag (
<title>
</title>) will be displayed on the tab of the page or in the title bar of the browser.
