<base> Element
The <base> element is used to set all the URLs of a webpage and the target URL to a target URL and target:
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <base href="https://codevsscript.blogspot.com/images/" target="_blank"></head><body><img src="test.jpg" width="24" height="39" alt="Test"><a href="https://codevsscript.blogspot.com/">w3programmers</a></body></html>
Explanation: The image displayed with the code above will show from the image folder of codevsscript.blogspot.com and we did not have to give it the path of the image folder. Again we did not have to set a target for the hyperlink, because we have already set the target in the <base> tag, now clicking the link will open the link directly in a new tab. And the href and target here are attribute of the base tag
<title> Element
The tags are used to display the title of any webpage in the browser's title bar.
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <title>Our HTML Tutorials</title> </head> <body> This is Body </body></html>You can see the text "Our HTML Tutorials" in the title bar of the browser using the code above.
<style> Element
The <style> </style> tag is used to use the Internal Style sheet. For example :
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <title>Our HTML Tutorials</title> <style type="text/css"> body {background-color: red;} p { margin-left: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #006; } </style> </head> <body> This is Body </body></html>
<link> Element
The <link> element is used to link to the external stylesheet:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Link Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../style.css">
</head>

<h2>HTML Link Example</h2>
