<!DOCTYPE html>  
<html>  
<head>  
	<title>test</title>  
</head>  
<body>  
</body>  
</html>  

The above is the HTML boilerplate. It is the base document each html file should have.

  • DOCTYPE indicates to the browser that we are usign HTML5
  • head contains metadata that won’t be shown on the webpage
  • body contains all the tags that will show on the webpage, all the content

VS Code has a shortcut to quickly put in the boilerplate by typing an exclamation mark and then hitting tab.
