This is the basic structure of HTML. The whole thing must be enclosed between the opening and closing html tags, there must be a head section which must contain a title, and there must be a body. The body is where the content of the page is specified. If you put nothing in the body, the page will be blank.

The major parts (html, head, title, and body) must appear in this order, but the spacing is up to you. The first three lines as shown here could be all on one line, for example, and the page would be the same.
