There are two kinds of tags. Those tags which require an ending, are called range tags. They are
called "range tags" because they cover a range of text. Examples of range tags are <HTML>,
<HEAD>, <BODY>, <TITLE>. Range tags require ending tags (</HTML>, </HEAD>, </BODY>,
</TITLE>)
<HTML>

<TITLE>My Home Page</TITLE>

Tag Attributes:
A tag is also sometimes called an element. You may think of HTML elements as nouns or verbs
within a language. Nouns have adjectives and verbs have adverbs.

What kind of a cat?
A big cat.
What color is your big cat?
I have a big black cat.
HEAD and BODY Tags
HTML documents are separated into two sections, the head and the body. The beginning of the
head section is marked by the <HEAD> tag, and the end of the head section with the </HEAD>
tag. Likewise, the beginning of the body section is marked by the <BODY> tag, and the end of
the body section with the </BODY> tag. The example below highlights these tags.
