Reviewing the Template

Time to wrap up our exploration of a template by actually putting all the components together (see Example 1-16).

Example 1-16. Viewing the structure of an XHTML document

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR
/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

<title>your site : location within site : topic title</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta name="keywords" content="your, keywords, here" />
<meta name="description" content="your description here" />
<meta name="author" content="your name here" />

</head>

<body>

<!-- main content section  -->

</body>
</html>

Copy this markup, save it to a work folder on your computer, and name it index.html. This will be the file you'll open and add content and additional markup to as we progress.
