2.2 HTML Document Structure

HTML documents are structured into two parts, the HEAD, and the BODY. The head contains information about the document that is not generally displayed with the document, such as its TITLE, its numeric id (referred to by HTML editors) and so on. The BODY contains the body of the text, and is where you place the document material to be displayed.

Example of Document Structure

<HEAD>
<TITLE> Environmental Change Project </TITLE>
<NEXTID N=z33>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<h1> Environmental Change Project </h1>

Welcome to the home page of the Environmental Change Project.
This project is different from other projects with similar
names.  In our case we actually wish to change the 
climate.  For example, we would like hot beaches in Northern
Quebec, and deserts near Chicago.

<p> So how will we do this.  Well we do the following
<ul>
<li> <A HREF="burn.html">Burn </A> more forests.
<li> Destroy the <A HREF="http://who.zoo.do/ozone.html">Ozone</A> layer.
<li> Birth more <A HREF="ftp:foo.do.do/cows.gif">cows</a>
</ul>

</BODY>
