Every HTML needs a DTD declaration to actually be HTML. It looks
like this (depending on the document type you intend to use):
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

There are rules which tags may appear within others and the have to
be closed in exactly reverse order.
<p> <b> Test </p> </b> 
would be invalid for instance.

Also it's a requirement that some tags have a special parent, taken from
faq.html for example:

<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=100% ALIGN=left>

<TD COLSPAN=3><P><B><A NAME=5.1><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-seri
f" size=2>5.1 Compilation</A></B></P>
</TD><TR><TD COLSPAN=3>&nbsp;</TD><TR>

"<td>" Denotes a table cell and has to appear within a "<tr>" tag
like done below.

I'm lacking an example here because I'm offline, but the validator
showed me that you used some attributes in tags which are not
allowed to contain them.

<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=100% ALIGN=left>

would read

<TABLE BORDER="0" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="left">

if properly quoted.

check validator.w3c.org for some fun. :)
