Document Structure
Karen Goodwyn
Document content represents a conceptual structure which the reader must process. The structure of document is supported by headers, sub headers, paragraph and sentences. The beginning of the document should content the purpose, idea, issue or interest, this will let the user know what the document is about with out searching. The middle should contain information or arguments and the ending should contain the summary or conclusion.
For Websites the correct document structure is important when creating a webpage. If the document structure is incorrect the webpage can break or the search engine may not be able to read the document. In properly formed HTML, all web page code is contained within two basic elements the head and the body. In the past the head and the body was the primary for good form. In today's World Wide Web there are many display possibilities with CSS and interactive scripting. When writing for web pages chunking information can help organize and present information .
The head is where your webpage declares its code and standards and document type are located. The document typed declares which version and standards the HTML document conforms to and is very important in checking the quality and technical validity of the HTML markup and CSS. The body area stores all the page content and is important for CSS control of visual styles, programming, and semantic content markup. Sections in the body are usually functionally divided with div and span tags.
