XHTML » Tags » head
- Syntax:
- <head> ... </head>
The head tag is the HTML document header. It serves as a container for other tags that control the contents and appearance of the main body of the document.
A well-formed XHTML document must contain properly nested and closed html, head, title, and body tags. The head tag is inserted immediately after the html tag, but before the body or frameset tags.
The head element can contain any of the following HTML tags in any order:
| base | set base URL |
| link | set document link |
| meta | document keywords |
| script | script code |
| style | set style sheet rules |
| title | name of document |
The separate closing tag is mandatory.
