HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
What the browser creates
When the browser reads your HTML, it interprets all the
tags
that
surround your text. Tags are just words or characters in angle brackets,
like
<head>
,
<p>
,
<h1>
, and so on. The tags tell the browser about the
structure and meaning
of your text. So rather than just giving the browser
a bunch of text, with HTML you can use tags to tell the browser what
text is in a heading, what text is a paragraph, what text needs to be
emphasized, or even where images need to be placed.
Let's check out how the browser interprets the tags in the
