<head>contains meta-information about the HTML page and can include the<title>tag (the title displayed in the browser tab). - The
<body>contains the content that is displayed in the browser window.
HTML Tags
- Tags are enclosed in angle brackets (
< >). - Tags often come in pairs: an opening tag and a closing tag (e.g.,
