</head>
<body style="text-align: center;">
    <svg style="width: 150px; height=100px;">
        <rect width="150" height="100" fill="red"/> 
    </svg>
    <svg style="width: 250px; height:190px;">
        <rect width="200" height="100" fill="black" x="30" y="40" rx="30" ry="40"/>
    </svg>
    <svg style="width: 250px; height:190px;">
        <circle cx="100" cy="90" r="50" fill="orange" /> 
    </svg>
    <svg style="width: 1000px; height:190px;">
        <text x="10" y="100" font-size="60" fill="black">

    </svg>
</body>
      </html>

  2. Secondly, the <html> tag is used to indicate the beginning of an HTML document.
  3. As above now <head> tag is used to contain information about web page. In this tag a <title> tag is used which helps us to specify a webpage title.
  4. Both <head> and <title> tags are Paired tags. So, both have </head> and </title> ending tags respectively.
  5. Thirdly, <body> tag is used to define the webpage body. All the contents to show on website are written here. In the body tag, now here we create different svg tags to represent different structures for you.
  6. Here we create a rectangle, circle and rectangle with radius. At the end, we also show you that how we able to show text with the help of svg elements.
  7. These all are made in svg tags and when you zoom in and out it the resolution of graphics remains same every time. Hence, this is all done with the help of svg where height and width are used to define dimensions and rx and ry to radius of rectangle.
  8. In circle, cx and cy are dimension of circle with its radius r. whereas the font size and x, y are used to give dimensions to text. When you customize all of them according to your values then you understand that how they work.
  9. At last, the <body> and <html> tags are closed with </body> and </html> respectively.
