One can rightly divide the HTML of a web page into several segments. Some of them are static and others are variable parts.
Static parts are those that do not change from one page to another, i.e. the top of the page where you put the site name and banner, menu, bottom of the page that gets copyright notice, etc. variable parts of the page are the elements that vary from page to page, i.e. the page title, description, keywords, page content, etc. When you create a new website that has to write all the HTML code for both static and variable parts of your page.
