Notes:

HTML uses markup tags to tell the Web browser how to display the text. The above example uses:
the <> tag (and corresponding </TITLE> tag), which specifies the title of the document
the <> header tag (and corresponding </H1>)
the <> paragraph-separator tag
HTML tags consist of a left angle bracket (<), (a ``less than'' symbol to mathematicians), followed by name of the tag and closed by a right angular bracket (>). Tags are usually paired, e.g. <> and </H1>. The ending tag looks just like the starting tag except a slash (/) precedes the text within the brackets. In the example, <> tells the Web browser to start formatting a level-one heading; </H1> tells the browser that the heading is complete.
The primary exception to the pairing rule is the <> tag. There is no such thing as </P
NOTE: HTML is not case sensitive. <> is equivalent to <> or <>.
