This is what a standard HTML file looks like. Other than changing the document title and the body contents, your file should look something like this.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
<title>The document title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Main heading</h1>
<p>A paragraph.</p>
<p>Another paragraph.</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>A table item.</td> <td>A table item.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A table item.</td> <td>A table item.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
