The **`<head>`** [HTML](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML) element contains machine-readable information (metadata) about the document, like its [title](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/title), [scripts](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script), and [style sheets](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/style).
> **Note:** `<head>` primarily holds information for machine processing, not human-readability. For human-visible information, like top-level headings and listed authors, see the [`header`](header!) element.
