Many HTML tags are one-half of a pair that surrounds a block of text. The
second tag is like the first, except that it carries a forward slash just
inside the first angle bracket. For example, the <title>–</title> pair surrounds that portion of the file
intended to serve as the file's title. Similarly, the <head>–</head> pair surrounds the title and other, optional,
marked material, such as indexing words. The <body>–</body> pair surrounds the file's body; and the
<html>–</html> pair surrounds the entire contents.
Thus, the following is a simple HTML file that contains nothing but a title, two horizontal rules, and a few lines of text:
<html> <head> <title>Welcome to a simple HTML file</title> </head> <body> <hr> This text can be viewed by a web browser.<p> It consists of only text, arranged in two paragraphs, between horizontal rules. <hr> </body> </html>
