HTML tags | head

#html #tags #head

It contains machine-readable information (metadata) about the document. It must be the first element of an <html> element.

Metadata is not displayed and it typically defines the document title, character set, styles, scripts, and other meta information.

The following elements can go inside the <head> element:

<title> (required in every HTML document)
<style>
<base>
<link>
<meta>
<script>
<noscript>

The start tag may be omitted if the first thing inside the <head> element is an element. The end tag may be omitted if the first thing following the <head> element is not a space character or a comment.

HTML5-compliant browsers automatically create a <head> element if its tags are omitted in the markup. This auto-creation is not guaranteed in ancient browsers.
