Doctype Tag

HTML code is always accompanied by its “boilerplate” of tags. The very first tag found on any HTML file must be a Doctype declaration.
The html5 doctype <!DOCTYPE html> is a required preamble used to inform the browser which rendering mode to use (HTML5 vs. XHTML). Be sure to place the doctype at the very top of the document.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset=UTF-8>
        <title>Document Title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>Document content.</p>
    </body>
</html>
