6 HTML CSS Tutorial – HTML declarations

The HTML declaration (<!DOCTYPE>) will be the first thing you write on your html document before anything else. This is how the browser knows the version of HTML to expect.

All other HTML versions have a Document Type Definition (DTD) except for HTML5 . The DTD defines the accepted document structure, accepted elements and attributes in a HTML document.

There are different versions of HTML. There are still older web pages out there. However when you write your new web page code it will be something like the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<p> I am the body</p>
</body>
</html><span id="mce_marker" data-mce-type="bookmark" data-mce-fragment="1">​</span>
