The document’s body in HTML5 is defined by the <body> tag which is placed with in the <html> tags and just after the <head> tag.
The body tag can include:

  • headings tags : <h1>, <h2>, <h3> and so on.
  • paragraph tag: <p>
  • line break tag: <br>
  • horizontal rule tag: <hr>
  • image and video tags: <img> <video>
  • list tags: <ul> and <ol>
  • table tag: <table>

The body tag contains so many other tags, all the vital information on the web-page, or someone can say that it is the skeleton on the web-page.

Example: Below example illustrates the use of body tag.

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>
    Geeks-For-Geeks
  </title>
</head>
<body>
  <!-- Paragraph Tag-->
  <p>Geeks-For-Geeks</p>
  
    
  <!--H1 Tag--> 
  <h1>Geeks-For-Geeks</h1>
    
  <!--H2 Tag-->
  <h2>Geeks-For-Geeks</h2>
    
  <!--H3 Tag-->
  <h3>Geeks-For-Geeks</h3>
    
  <!--H4 Tag-->
  <h4>Geeks-For-Geeks</h4>
    
  <!--Line Break Tag-->
  <br>
    
  <!--Horizontal Rule Tag-->
  <hr>
    
  <!--Image Tag-->
  <img src=
        
  <h2>Geeks-For-Geeks is Best Site For:</h2>
    
  <!--unordered list tag--->
  <ul>
    <li>DSA</li>
    <li>Web Development</li>
    <li>Gate</li>
    <li>and much more....</li>
  </ul>
</body>
    
</html>


Output: All the tags we have used inside our body tag is now visible on the web-page. The image gets down below shows the output of the above code and the use of each and every tag that we have used in our body tag.
