This page shows an example of a very basic HTML page. HTML pages are built with
tags that tell the browser how and what to display to the user. A minimal HTML page starts with the
<html> tag, an optional
<head> section (not shown here) and then an opening
<body> tag. Page content comes after the opening
<body> tag and before the closing
</body> tag. The page is finished with a closing
</html> tag.
Other tags such as the DOCTYPE tag (also not shown here) can give the browser more specific information as to the type of HTML used in the page (such as HTML 1, HTML 4, etc).
Try modifying the
body element by adding a background color using the body tag
bgcolor="#ffffaa".
