Hi,
The DOCTYPE Declaration (DTD or Document Type Declaration) does a couple of things: When performing HTML validation testing on a web page it tells the HTML (HyperText Markup Language) validator which version of (X)HTML standard the web page coding is supposed to comply with. When you validate your web page the HTML validator checks the coding against the applicable standard then reports which portions of the coding do not pass HTML validation (are not compliant). It tells the browser how to render the page in standards compliant mode. Thanks sonvi.belani

A document type declaration, or DOCTYPE, is an instruction that associates 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 HTML1.0 - HTML 4.0).

The <!DOCTYPE> declaration must be the very first thing in your HTML document, before the <html> tag.
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.

<Doctype> means document type. It shows the type of html version you are using.

DOCTYPE is the first thing at the top of every webpage, even before the HTML tag.
the DOCTYPE declares what type of documentation (or rules) our HTML page is being displayed with. If you don’t declare a DOCTYPE, the browser will assume you have no idea what you’re doing and will go into “fix-it” mode generally using the transitional ruleset as outlined below. The action is not the same from browser to browser. |

A document type declaration, or DOCTYPE, is an instruction that associates a particular SGML or XML document.Always add the <!DOCTYPE> declaration to your HTML documents, so that the browser knows what type of document to expect.
