How to define the document's body in HTML5 ?

Last Updated : 12 Mar, 2021

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-->

  <h2>Geeks-For-Geeks is Best Site For:</h2>
  
  <!--unordered list tag--->

  </ul>
</body>
  
</html>
