HTML Body Tag

The <body> tag is one of the most essential tags in any HTML document. It represents the main content area of the web page — the part that you actually see and interact with in the browser.

Everything inside the <body> tag is what the user sees. Everything outside it (like the <head> tag) is for browser use, settings, or metadata.

Where is the <body> Tag Used?

The <body> tag is placed inside the <html> tag, right after the <head> section.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My Webpage</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- All visible content goes here -->
  </body>
</html>

Syntax -

<body attributes>.. text/tags here.. </body>
