Content does not require any additional presentational markups or styles in order to fully convey its message. • Structure - refers to the practice of using HTML on content to convey meaning(semantics) and to describe how blocks of information are structured to one another. Examples: "this is a list" (ol, ul, li), "this is headings and subheadings" (<h1>, <h2>, ..., <h6>), "this section is related to" (<a>), etc.. • Presentation - (or Style) refers to anything related to how the content and structure is presented. Examples: size, color, margins, borders, layout, location, etc. • Behavior - (or Interactivity) refers to the employment of client-side script (e.g., JavaScript) to create interactivity between the webpage and its users

The <title> tag is required in HTML documents! The contents of a page title is very important for search engine optimization (SEO)! The page title is used by search engine algorithms to decide the order when listing pages in search results. The <title> element: defines a title in the browser toolbar provides a title for the page when it is added to favorites displays a title for the page in search-engine results Here are some tips for creating good titles: Go for a longer, descriptive title (avoid one- or two-word titles) Search engines will display about 50-60 characters of the title, so try not to have titles longer than that Do not use just a list of words as the title (this may reduce the page's position in search results)
- 12. Head element 12 The <head> element is a container for metadata (data about data) and is placed between the <html> tag and the <body> tag. Metadata is data about the HTML document. Metadata is not displayed. Metadata typically define 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>
