    What does DOCTYPE mean?

    The term DOCTYPE tells the browser which type of HTML is used on a webpage. In turn, the browsers use DOCTYPE to determine how to render a page. Failing to use DOCTYPE or using a wrong DOCTYPE may load your page in Quirks Mode.

    DOCTYPE, is an instruction that ***ociates a particular SGML or XML document (for example, a webpage) with a document type definition (DTD) (for example, the formal definition of a particular version of HTML).

      DOCTYPE stands for Document Type declaration. The <!DOCTYPE> declaration is not an HTML tag, it is an instruction to the web browser about what version of HTML the page is written in.

        The DOCTYPE tells the web browsers what type of document the file is. This is the method that Google uses, and is reasonably easy to remember.

              The DOCTYPE declaration is a top-level tag-like reference known as a Public Text Identifier. It should appear at the very beginning of an HTML/XHTML document in order to identify the content of the document as conforming to a particular HTML DTD specification. Historically, including a DTD was not required by browsers; they just interpreted a document according to what elements and attributes it understood.
