2. Structure of an HTML page

An HTML page is a text document that is structured with tags. The labels define what each text block means and make divisions between some text blocks and others.

In this first lab we are going to create a simple HTML page with minimal structure.

Labels used

<!doctype html>
Etiqueta inicial que informa al navegador de que a continuación viene un documento de tipo HTML.
<html> </html>
Start and end tag of all HTML type documents.
<head> </head>
Document header section. This section defines the page title, styles, etc.
<title> </title>
Title of the HTML page. It should appear in the <head> section.
<body> </body>
Document body. In this section will be all the contents that appear on the website. Texts, images, lists, tables, etc.
<p> </p>
Paragraph tag. Encloses a paragraph of text with several consecutive sentences. They end at a full stop.
