Basic Structure Of An HTML5 Document
Someone asked me how to make a webpage. An HTML document is the most basic thing in making a webpage. So here's its basic structure.
Step 1: Create an index.html file. It should have the following codes.
HTML
<html>
<head>
<title><!--here is where your page title goes--></title>
<!--here is where your css code/link goes-->
</head>
<body>
<!-- here is where your page content goes -->
Just a sample content
<!-- here is where your javascript goes
(before, it is usually in the <head> section, but for better page
performance, JavaScripts are coded at the bottom part of the page***.)
-->
</body></html>You should see "Just a sample content" text in your web browser when you run this. Then for HTML5, the same principles apply, it's just there are more on it.
