<html<<!-- Begins the HTML document --<
<head<<!-- Contains metadata about the document --<
<meta charset="utf-8"/<<!-- Specifies the character encoding for the document --<
<meta name="description" content="html meta tag tuotrial"/<<!-- Specifies the description metadata --<

<title<How to specify a name for the metadata</title<<!-- Sets the title of the document --<
</head<<!-- Ends the head section --<
<body<<!-- Contains the content of the document --<
<h1<HTML meta name Attribute</h1<<!-- Represents a level 1 heading --<
<p<Example of using name attribute in meta element</p<<!-- Represents a paragraph of text --<
</body<<!-- Ends the body section --<
</html<<!-- Ends the HTML document --<

Explanation:

The HTML document starts with a declaration of its type and version (<!DOCTYPE html<).
The <html< element encloses the entire HTML document.
The <head< section contains metadata about the document.
The <meta charset="utf-8"/< tag specifies the character encoding for the document as UTF-8.
The <meta< tags with the name attribute specify various metadata such as description, keywords, and author for the document.
The <title< tag sets the title of the document, which appears in the browser's title bar or tab.
The <body< section contains the main content of the HTML document, including a level 1 heading <h1< and a paragraph <p< of text.
