00:05 | doctype declaration must be the first element in page before any other HTML element |
00:12 | doctype declaration can be placed: - on the 1st line, - on the 2nd line - on the 3rd line ...it does not matter as long as it's the first element added on page |
00:19 | doctype declaration cannot be nested inside HTML elements: e.g. doctype nested inside html → invalid syntax |
