ABSTRACT
HTML uses tags to tell the Web browser how the text should be displayed. In Listing 1, the code begins with the tag <HTML>. Place this tag at the beginning of your HTML pages; it lets the Web browser know that the following code is HTML and should be rendered accordingly. Note also that Listing 1 ends with the tag </HTML>. Most HTML tags are used in pairs, with an opening tag and an ending tag to delineate which text you want handled in a particular way. Ending tags are the same as opening tags, but with the addition of a forward slash(/).
