The <!DOCTYPE> declaration is the first line of the code in HTML or XHTML document. It specifies the HTML version used in the document. Each HTML document should start with this declaration: so the browsers will render the page compliant with HTML standards. In HTML 4.01, this declaration refers to a\u00a0Document Type Definition (DTD), which specifies the structure and the legal elements of an XML document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The <!DOCTYPE> is declared before the\u00a0<html>\u00a0tag. The declaration is not case sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
