Tags Web pages read text modified with tags
A tag tells a browser how to display text Most commands have a beginning and ending tag Beginning tag example: <b> Ending tag example: </b> Example: <b>These words are in bold.</b>

Guidelines for Tags It doesn’t matter if tags are upper or lower case
If you forget the closing tag (ex: </b>), the browser does not stop treating the text Making an error does not “bomb” out your program; it just looks strange If the browser does not understand a tag, it ignores it

HEAD and BODY Tags Each web page has two distinct parts: <head> </head> and <body> </body> <head> displays information that is not seen on the screen <body> displays information that is seen on the screen All web pages begin with <html> tag and end with </html> tag
