a basic HTML document structure, including a title at least two header tags multiple paragraphs a quotation (doesn't have to be real, nor from a real person) proper use of at least two of these tags: <strong> <em> <b> <i> <cite>

Save your document as an HTML file. Remember, this is done by saving your file with the .html file extension. Be sure to include your first and last name as part of the file name.
