• <body> tag : The <body> tag is a container tag that encloses all the tags and content to be displayed
on the web page. The <body> tag is entered below the closing </head> tag and above the closing
</html> tag.
Guidelines for Creating HTML Documents
Some guidelines to be followed while creating HTML documents are:
1. Tag names and attribute names are not case-sensitive. However, it is recommended to use
lowercase for tag names and attribute names.
2. Enclose the attribute values within double quotes.
3. Spaces between tags and content are not important. For example,
<b> This text is bold </b> and <b> This text is bold </b> are interpreted in the same way.
4. Do not use spaces between tag names and between the < and > signs. Thus, < body > or < body >
is incorrect, while <body> is correct.
Knowledge Discovery Subject Enrichment
If you do not enclose a tag within ‘<’ ‘>’, a web browser will assume your command as text instead of an
HTML command. For example, a web browser would consider <html> as a tag and HTML as text.
