<!DOCTYPE html>

Every page starts with a <!DOCTYPE html> declaration. Technically, it's not even a tag but a signal to a browser that the page uses the latest HTML5 version. In contrast to real tags, <!DOCTYPE> must appear only once — at the top of the page. The doctype declaration is not case-sensitive, and you can write it either way.
