CHAPTER 3. HEAD SETS THE STAGE 29


3.5.5 Head to Body Transition


Optional: end of head.When we are done with the head, we should say

Every HTML document is required to have exactly onebodysection. This
is where all the content appears. If we do not label our content with body
tags, the browser will assume it for us.


Exam Question 33(p.338):What HTML markup is used to mark off the
content of the document?
Acceptable Answer:...


Optional: start of body.Immediately after finishing the head, we intro-

That ends our document.


If our webpage simply ends, the browser will pretend that we typed
as the page ended.
