The HEAD part of the document provides information about the document. It should not contain text or normal markup. If a browser encounters such markup, it will assume it has arrived in the BODY section of the document already.
BODY - Document body
The BODY tag contains the actual contents of the document. That contents should consist of block elements only. You may put in plain text in the body, this is then assumed to be inside a P container.
TITLE - Document title
Each document must have exactly one TITLE element. This element provides the title of the document. It is usually displayed at the top of the browser's window, but also used to label a bookmark entry for the document and as a caption in search engine results.
LINK - Site structure
LINK is used to indicate relationships between documents. There are two possible relationships: REL indicates a normal relationship to the document specified in the URL. REV indicates a reverse relationship. In other words, the other document has the indicated relationship with this one. The TITLE attribute can be used to suggest a title for the referenced URL or relation.
SCRIPT - Inline scripts
The SCRIPT tag is included only to ensure upward compatibility. Newer versions of HTML will include support for inline scripts, which should be contained in this tag. The tag should contain a valid script.
STYLE - Style markup
The STYLE tag is included only to ensure upward compatibility. Newer versions of HTML will include support for style sheets, and this tag can be used to provide "in-line" style information. The tag should contain only valid style statements, in the language indicated in the TYPE attribute.
H1 - Level 1 heading
The level 1 heading is the most important header in the document. It should be rendered more prominently than any other header. It is usually used to indicate the title of the document. Often it has the same contents as the TITLE, although this is not required and not always a good idea. The title should be useful out of context (for example, in a bookmarks file) but the level 1 heading is only used inside the document. The optional ALIGN attribute controls the horizontal alignment of the header. It can be LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT.
UL - Unordered list
The UL element indicates an unordered list. Every item in a list is marked with LI, and usually appears with a bullet of some sort in front of it. If you need numbering, use OL for an ordered list. The type of bullet can be suggested with the TYPE attribute. You have three possible styles: "disc" for a closed bullet, "square" for an open square and "circle" for an open bullet. The COMPACT attribute is used to indicate that the list items are short, so the browser can render the list more compact. For example, it could put more than one item on a line.
OL - Ordered list
The OL tag marks up an ordered list of items. Each item should be marked up with a LI, and it will be displayed with a number in front of it. The appearance of the number can be controlled with the TYPE attribute: The START attribute indicates where the list should start. The COMPACT attribute indicates that the list contains only short list items, so it may be rendered in a more compact way. This is currently not widely supported.
1 - Arabic numbers (default) (1, 2, 3, 4, ...)
a - Alphanumeric, lowercase (a, b, c, d, ...)
A - Alphanumeric, uppercase (A, B, C, D, ...)
i - Roman numbers, lowercase (i, ii, iii, iv, ...)
I - Roman numbers, uppercase (I, II, III, IV, ...)
DIR - Directory list
The DIR element is similar to the UL element. It represents a list of short items, typically up to 20 characters each. Items in a directory list may be arranged in columns, typically 24 characters wide.
STYLE - Style markup
The STYLE tag is included only to ensure upward compatibility. Newer versions of HTML will include support for style sheets, and this tag can be used to provide "in-line" style information. The tag should contain only valid style statements, in the language indicated in the TYPE attribute.
