Clean HTML structure starts with a proper document wrapper, a language attribute, and a body that contains only the content users need. HTML5 documents should include the basic tags needed for a valid page, and paragraphs should be wrapped in <p> elements for readable structure.[1][2]

Headings should be used in a clear hierarchy. A page should use one main <h1> for the primary topic, followed by <h2> and lower levels for subsections.[5] This keeps the page easy to scan and helps browsers and assistive technologies understand the content flow.[5]

Best practices for web readability also include short paragraphs, simple wording, and consistent formatting. Use bold only for section headers when needed, and avoid unnecessary styling that makes the page harder to read.[1][5]

Final HTML output should contain only the document content, with no title if one is not required. For a minimal but well-structured page, use a valid HTML5 layout and keep the article concise and organized.[2]
