In addition to tags already discussed, this example also uses the <HEAD> ... </HEAD> and <BODY> ... </BODY> tags, which separate the document into introductory information about the document and the main text of the document. These tags don't change the appearance of the formatted document at all, but are useful for several purposes (for example, NCSA Mosaic for Macintosh 2.0, for example, allows you to browse just the header portion of document before deciding whether to download the rest), and it is recommended that you use these tags.
