 To learn HTML, you will need to study various tags and understand how they behave, while formatting a textual document. Learning HTML is simple as users have to learn the usage of different tags in order to format the text or images to make a beautiful webpage. 

World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends to use lowercase tags starting from HTML4. 

HTML Document Structure

Atypical HTML document will have the following structure:Document declaration tag

<html>

<head>Document header related tags:</head>

We will study all the header and body tags in subsequent chapters, but for now let's see what is document declaration tag.
