<HTML></HTML>

Contains the entire page


Use as the first and last lines of the HTML file as shown in the following example:

==>>    <html>
        <head>
        <title>Some Title</title>
        </head>
        <body>
            .
            .
            .
        </body>
==>>    </html>

You don't have to use this tag - it is optional in the HTML specification. I've never seen anyone brave enough to not use it. I personally use it on all my pages just because I think I should.

If, at some future date, the powers that be decide that it's no longer optional, it would be a chore to go back and add it to all your files.
