Our expert team is currently recording the visual guide for Document Structure.
The Core Concept
Every webpage starts with a few standard tags. These tags tell the browser how to read the file. The `<!DOCTYPE html>` tag on the very first line tells the browser that this is a modern HTML5 document. The `<html>` tag wraps all your content. Inside, `<head>` holds hidden details like the page title and search keywords, and `<body>` holds the actual visible text and images that users see.
