Welcome to Treehouse!
This is a great question! For HTML5 one would use a Doctype
declaration of:
<!DOCTYPE html>
There are other declarations available, depending upon the document you are creating. Here is a partial list of valid Doctypes.
Spelling matters and you will need to put your Doctype declaration before your opening tag, for example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<!--

</html>
Post back with further questions and happy coding!
