The basic structure of the HTML document is divided into two sections namely, the head
and the body. The browser enters the first section after executing the start tag of HTML
(telling the browser to begin interpreting the HTML commands) and start tag of HEAD.
The first section helps in changing the heading on the title bar of the HTML document
(the webpage). The starting of the heading is shown after the start tag of TITLE and the
end is shown by </TITLE>. The end tag of HEAD i.e. </HEAD> tells the browser that
the end of first section has come.
The second section begins with the start tag of BODY. The data on the webpage is displayed
through the tags used in this section. The end tag of BODY i.e. </BODY> tells the browser
that no more data is to be inserted on the webpage and the end of the web document
has come. After the completion of this section, the slash HTML or the end tag of HTML
tells the browser to stop looking for HTML commands. This implies that any tag used
after the end tag of HTML will not be interpreted by the browser and so no action will
be performed.

Saving the HTML document
When you have finished writing the HTML code in the text editor, click on File menu and
select Save option. This opens a window, which asks you to save the file in a folder and give a name and an extension to the file. The extension in this file will be .html or .htm.
(e.g. basic.htm or first HTMLDocument.html). This will turn the file into a webpage.
