<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
If you're wondering why there isn't a space between the head tags but there is between the body tags then the answer is very simple! There could be 1000 lines of space or 0 lines and it wouldn't affect the code at all. If this is not what you needed help with then please respond with some more information.
Best of luck programming!

<title></title>
the code written inside the title tags show up as the title of the browser tab.
This is the basic structure of an html page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
The main part of the document goes here.
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps!
