ou can begin building simple Web pages in your editor of choice. Web pages use sets of HTML
tags to define their content. Although the content of each page will vary greatly, all pagescontain the same basic set of starting tags. These tags begin by telling the browser that the
document does in fact contain HTML tags, and then divide the page into two sections: a head, with
information for the browser, and a body, which contains everything the user actually sees on the
page. The head section also contains the title, which appears on the browser’s title and tab bars.
