No,There are two primary component in an HTML document 
<head>
and 
<body> 
The entire document is started with the 
doctype tag which Visual Studio code should add automatically and then
you surround both the <head> and <body parts with <html>

If you are using visual studio code I suggest the following process.
1. press ctrl-N to create a new document.
2. Immediately press command-S to save it as foo.html where foo is the name of 
the document you want.
3. Enter <html> (VSC will then add a </html>
 4. Press enter twice and then up arrow and add in a <head> (again) VSC will  
automatically add the </head> immediately after the <head>
5. Now add in your <body> and </body>
6. Go to the top and press < and VSC will say !doctype or something close to 
that press enter and VSC will complete that code.

At this point you have a completely empty HTML basic file.
All of the paragraph headings links and other HTML content that is visible to 
the end user should go between the 
<body>
and  the 
</body>

Of course, if you want you could create a template.html that has your basic 
structure in it and then open it and immediately do a save as with what you 
plan to create.
Have fun and good luck!



                Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn
