HTML - HTML Document

This element is also available in our updated HTML 4 reference. Some characteristics may have changed.

Appearance:	[<HTML>] [</HTML>]
Attributes:	VERSION=`string`
Contents:	HEAD followed by BODY.
May occur in:	(Not appliciable).

The HTML tag is the outermost tag. It is not required and may safely be omitted. It indicates that the text is HTML (the version can be indicated with the optional VERSION attribute), but this information is almost never used by servers or browsers.

Notes:

If used, the HTML tags should go around the entire document, but directly after the DOCTYPE declaration.
