HTML Doctypes
A doctype declaration refers to the rules for the markup language, so that the browsers render the content correctly.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the document</title>
</head>

<body>
The content of the document......
</body>

</html>

The Result



Title of the document



The content of the document......




HTML Different Doctypes

The doctype declaration is not an HTML tag; it is an instruction to the web browser about what version of the markup language the page is written in.

The doctype declaration refers to a Document Type Definition (DTD). The DTD specifies the rules for the markup language, so that the browsers render the content correctly.

The doctype declaration should be the very first thing in an HTML document, before the tag.

Remark Tip: Always add a doctype to your pages. This helps the browsers to render the page correctly!
