Hello there,

I'm not sure what your question is but my thinking is you're struggling with what to type for a HTML document's <!doctype>

This tells the browser what standards of HTML code to render. Luckily the Document Type Definition (DTD) is very easy to remember. 

<!doctype html>

Good luck :)
