TAG: head

<head> ... </head>

The head tag is the HTML document header. It serves as a container for other tags that control the contents and appearance of the main body of the document.

A well-formed XHTML document must contain properly nested and closed html, head, title, and body tags. The head tag is inserted immediately after the html tag, but before the body or frameset tags.

The head element can contain any of the following HTML tags in any order:

base	set base URL
link	set document link
meta	document keywords
script	script code
style	set style sheet rules
title	name of document

The separate closing tag is mandatory.
