HyperText Markup Language or html code is made up of tags. These tags are enclosed in angle brackets - < >. Anything in angle brackets is considered a tag. Browsers will ignore anything in angle brackets if the tag contains a command that the browser does not recognize. The tags usually occur in pairs called containers. The second (closing) tag in a container has a slash ("/") in it. These opening and closing tags are like left and right parentheses. Many containers can be nested one inside the other. But the nesting must be done properly, like nesting parentheses (( )).
The browser will adjust the text for the best look. It will wrap the text between the left and right sides of the browser window.
There is a minimum set of html code that you should include in every web page. Some browsers will accept a page without these minimum tags, but there are browsers that will not display the page without them. Each page should have an outside <html> container. Within the html container, there are two sections. First, the <head> section is where the <title> container is located. The text inside the title container is what is displayed in the Title Bar as the name of the window. This title is also what is kept in the Go and the Bookmark menus as the label for the page. Use a reasonable name, not the name of the file for the title. Second, the <body> section is where the majority of the html for the page is located. There should be a header <H1> line at the top of your pages.
