HTML tags look like this:

<html>
</html>

All your code goes in between. Hope this helps.

A full HTML doc looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Your Documents Title</title>
</head>
<body>
    All of your HTML code will go here
</body>
</html>

The first tag of any document must be the DOCTYPE 
which means Document Type 
so the parser knows how to parse and tokenize 
<!DOCTYPE html>
You should begin open a Html tag because 
you are beginning to write html code remember to close the tag and write any other tags between the delimiters 
<html>
Write html here
</html>
