Multiple <html> blocks in a single file?

I'm working on a web project, and I was wondering if I could format a webpage by placing two (or more) html blocks one after another. Does this cause any side-effects? Will it potentially cause problems on mobile? Thanks!

The <html> tag tells the browser that this is an HTML document.
The <html> tag represents the root of an HTML document.
The <html> tag is the container for all other HTML elements (except for the <!DOCTYPE> tag).

Therefore, having multiple <html> tags leads to ambiguity which eventually makes HTML document invalid.

No you should not have more than one HTML tag in your file. With multiple tags it becomes an invalid document and will often times not display properly.

Note: You should only have one body tag as well. It is best practice to make each new page a new HTML file, but have all CSS on one file separate from the HTML.
