A browser will regard the text as one paragraph. Blank lines and extra spaces are ignored. Your browser formats the paragraph like this:
I had called upon my friend Sherlock Holmes upon the second morning after Christmas, with the intention of wishing him the compliments of the season.

A skeleton Web page looks like this:
<html> <head> </head> <body> </body> </html>
Use lower case for the tags. Your spacing and indenting is ignored.
The entire Web page is bracketed
between the tags <html>
and </html>
.
The head of the Web page is contained
between <head>
and </head>
.
The head of a Web page contains information about the page, such as its title.
The main content of the page is its body, contained
between <body>
and </body>
.
