Explanation:

  • This HTML document starts with a doctype declaration indicating it's an HTML5 document.
  • Inside the <html> tags, the document structure begins.
  • The <head> section contains metadata about the document, such as character encoding and the title.
  • Inside the <body> section, there's inline CSS styles applied to table, th, and td elements to give them a red border.
  • The <table> element starts a table.
  • Inside the table, there are two rows (<tr>):
    • The first row contains three header cells (<th>):
      • The first header cell contains the text "March" followed by a dialog element with the open attribute.
      • The second header cell contains the text "April".
      • The third header cell contains the text "May".
    • The second row contains three data cells (<td>), each representing the number of days in each respective month.
  • The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
