Basic HTML Document Tags
Head and BODY

 The NEXTID Tag
  • The <nextid> tag,
    is often included by an HTML document text generator program...
    The HEAD requires a closing tag </head"> prior to opening the BODY.

    The BODY Tag

    The <body> tags surround the visible page.
    A very important feature of the OPENING BODY tag is its ability to preset the colors you want for background, text, and links.
    (See the     Color Code Chart for an explanation of the colors to use. DON'T use WHITE TEXT for printing...)
    EXAMPLE:
    <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#ffffff" link="#ff0000" vlink="#00ff00" alink="#0000ff">.

    The BODY is also where you put all of your text and images and where
    the paragraph, line break, lists, form, tables and other HTML Tags do their thing. The closing </body> tag precedes only the </html>; tag.
