The doctype declaration
<!DOCTYPE> is a special tag which is declared in the very beginning of a web page before <html> tag. It sends an instruction to the web browser about the version of HTML. <!DOCTYPE> is not a HTML tag and most of the modern browsers support this tag declaration. As HTML5 is not based on SGML, so no DTD reference is required in <!DOCTYPE> declaration. This tag is also very useful for SEO.
An example of typical HTML5 doctype tag declaration is shown below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
For example below we have given a simple HTML5 code snippet for creating a simple web page with doctype declaration:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>HTML5 page title</title> </head> <body> HTML5 page content </body> </html>

First of all,
I would like to thank the admin of this site for making concept of HTML5 more easier to all of us. Your procedure of giving lesson/tutorial is quite satisfied. But we have some problems at the time of coding. So for making us better understood, attach a trial-HTML-editor in your site where we can make our example of coding & have an instant result.
Thanks again.
Thank you for your suggestion. I will definitely keep it in my mind.
