After the head tag set, you’ll normally find the body tag set.
In the body tag set, is all of the tags and information that is displayed to the website visitor. The body tag will be using the rest of the HTML tags that are available to us.
So we won’t actually see the body tag, rather it is a container for every other element which will be shown to the web page viewer.
As with other HTML tags, you can assign attributes to the body tag, such as class and ID. Normally, this is used to help us define what type of page we are creating, in case we want to have a different set of styles for a home page vs an article, or other type of page.
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Sample File Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="The HTML5 Sample File">
<meta name="author" content="Walter Wimberly">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<script src="js/scripts.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Not every tag here will be used, so those can be left off if necessary. For example, you may not have any scripts, in which case, do not include the script tag.
