Head: Definition

The <head> element is a container for metadata (data about data). HTML metadata is data about the HTML document. Metadata is not displayed by browsers. Metadata typically define meta information such as document title, styles, links, and scripts. Contained inside the <head> element, you might find other elements which describe metadata:

<title>
<style>
<meta>
<link>
<script>
<base>

Some of these tags are familiar but it never hurts to go through them again.
