The TITLE Tag
The title of the page must be placed within the head section. The beginning of the title is marked
by the <TITLE> tag, and the end with the </TITLE> tag. Most browsers display the title on the
top portion of the frame of the page. Some browsers give the user the option to hide the display
of the title. Many browsers also display the title of the document in the document title field, and
use the title as the bookmark listing.
Titles should be short, but descriptive, and limited to one line, so they can fit within the frame
of the page. You should avoid accentuation within the title because it is the window manager,
and not the browser, that interprets the title. Some window managers do not support accents.

The Comment Tag
The comment tag is different from the other tags for the following reasons. It can be placed
anywhere in the HTML file; inside the head section, inside the body section, or in between the
head and the body. It does not end with a /. It starts with an <!-- and ends with an -->.
It is always a good idea to put comments into your source code. In this simple example the
comments state who is the author, the creation date of the document and the date of most recent
update.
