The <BODY> element contains all the content of
a document, as opposed to the HEAD, which contains information about the
document. The <BODY>...</BODY> tags
should be enclosed by the
<HTML>...</HTML> tags.
The <BODY> and </BODY> tags themselves
do not directly affect the look of the document when rendered, but they are required in order or
the document to conform to the specification standard.
There are attributes of the opening <BODY> tag which can be used to
set up various page-formatting settings.
Various mark-up elements are allowed within the body to indicate
headings, paragraphs, lists, hypertext links, images,
and so on.
