HTML works using mark-up tags.

A basic HTML document needs at least three tags: <HTML>, <HEAD> and <BODY> as well as their closing tags.

Tag About

<HTML> Defines the start and end of the HTML document.

<HEAD> Contains information about the document e.g. title

<BODY> Between which goes the main body of the document.

Below is an example of the HTML behind a basic document.

You can place other tags within the <HEAD> tags e.g. <TITLE> and <META> .

Tag About

<TITLE> Contains the title of the document which is displayed in the title bar of the browser.

<META> Contains other information and information for search engines e.g. keywords (Needs no closing tag).

The <BODY> tag can also have the attributes; link="colour" to specify the colour for links, alink="colour" to specify the colour for active links, vlink="colour" to specify the colour for visited links, bgcolor="colour" to specify the background colour and background="path to image file" to specify the image to be used for the background.
