HTML 2.0 Specification (Internet Draft)
HTML describes the structure and organization of a document. It only suggests appropriate presentations of the document when processed.
In HTML documents, tags define the start and end of headings, paragraphs, lists, character highlighting and links. Most HTML elements are identified in a document as a start tag, which gives the element name and attributes, followed by the content, followed by the end tag. Start tags are delimited by < and >, and end tags are delimited by </ and >.
Example:
<H1>This is a heading</H1>Every HTML document starts with a HTML document identifier which contains two sections, a head and a body. The head contains HTML elements which describe the documents title, usage and relationship with other documents. The body contains other HTML elements with the entire text and graphics of the document.
This overview briefly describes the syntax of HTML elements and provides an example HTML document.
