Re-explain
An HTML document is a doctype followed by one <html> root element, which holds a <head> for metadata and a <body> for content.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Content goes here -->
</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE html> tells the browser to render in standards mode. It no longer names an HTML version.
<html> is the root element that contains every other element. Its lang attribute lets screen readers pronounce the content correctly.
<head> holds metadata that the page does not display, such as the title and links to stylesheets.
<meta charset="UTF-8"> declares the character encoding. It must appear within the first 1024 bytes of the document.
<title> names the page in the browser tab.
<body> contains the visible page content.
