The first line of html coding is to specify the document type. Document type is declared by the keyword
<! DOCTYPE >
A sample program is given below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
This is the first HTML program </title>
</head>
<body>
This is the sample content </body>
</html>
save this file as "sample.html" in notepad. Open the file in any browser like google chrome, Internet explorer/edge, firefox, safari and opera browser.
It shows the webpage as a window with the text "This is the sample content".
Alternate versions:
when you are using other versions of HTML or XHTML, it has some different syntax to follow....
First, the syntax of html 4.01 version is given below..
Syntax:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 transitional//EN"
"URL of DTD file">
Next,the syntax of XHTML is as follows....
Syntax:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"URL of DTD file">
Note:
The "DOCTYPE" keyword is not case sensitive as all other html tags. you can use "DocType", "DOCtype", "Doctype", "doctype" instead of "DOCTYPE".
