It is important to begin every document with the < HTML >
tag and to end it with the closing < /HTML >
tag. This allows newer HTML readers to recognize the file as HTML,
regardless of the file extension.
A title must also be included so that references can be
made by users to specific pages within your document.
< HTML >
< head >
< base > (optional)
< title > Your Title < title >
< /head >
< body >
< h1 > This should be a copy of my Title < h1 >
< h2 > This should be a more descriptive title or other
information < h2 >
< hr > (to separate from the rest of the data)
< pre > or < listing > if needed
All of the main text of the Document is inserted
here....
< /pre > or < /listing > if needed
< hr >
Date Last Updated.... (optional)
navigation Buttons....(optional)
< /body >
< /html >
It is important to include many features, especially in the header, that aren't yet recognized by most viewers. This will keep your document "up-to-date" and maintenance free when these tags are fully implemented in future HTML viewers.

HTML Index that describes these tags in detail.
