How to create a skeleton HTML document?

by

To create a skeleton HTML document, you will need to include the following basic structure:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Page Title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- page content goes here -->
  </body>
</html>
Here's a breakdown of what each part of the skeleton HTML document does:
  • <!DOCTYPE html>: This declares the document type as HTML5.
  • <html>: This element represents the root of an HTML document.
  • <head>: This element contains metadata about the document, such as the title and character encoding.
  • <meta charset="UTF-8">: This element specifies the character encoding for the document.
  • <title>Page Title</title>: This element specifies the title of the document, which is displayed in the browser’s title bar or tab.
  • <body>: This element contains the visible content of the document.

Once you have the skeleton HTML document set up, you can start adding your own content to the <body> element.
