System Briefing: The HTML Blueprint
Every interface, from a simple readout to a complex starship console, is built on an HTML skeleton. Before we can render tactical data, we must establish this core structure.
Key Structural Components
<!DOCTYPE html>
: A mandatory declaration. It signals the system to use modern HTML5 protocols. Non-negotiable.<html>
: The root element. Encompasses all other components of the interface.<head>
: The metadata container. Holds system information not directly visible on the UI, like the console's title, character encoding, and links to stylesheets.<body>
: The primary display area. All visible content—text, readouts, images, controls—is rendered here.
