Overview of tags
<html> The "root" tag. Signifies the beginning of an HTML document.
<head> Comes right after the <html> tag and signifies the head section of an HTML document.
Within this tag important information about a webpage such as the page's title will be
contained.
<title> Sets the title of a webpage which can be seen in the upper left corner of a web
browser window. In the example on this page we titled the page "My second
webpage!". Should be placed in the head section (between <head> and </head>) of an
HTML document.
<body> Comes right after the <head> tag and signifies the body section of an HTML document.
Within this tag the page's content will be contained.
<h1> Creates a big heading. There are six different heading sizes you can create specified
with <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, and <h6>. The lower the number in the tag, the
bigger the heading will be.
<p> Creates a paragraph. Enclose a block of text with <p> and </p> to specify that the text
is a paragraph.
