There is not just one type of HTML, there are actually many: HTML 4.01 Strict, HTML 4.01 Transitional, XHTML 1.0 Strict, and many more. All these types of HTML are defined in their respective W3C specifications, but they are also defined in a machine-readable language specifying the legal structure, elements and attributes of a type of HTML. Such a definition is called a "Document Type Definition", or, for short, DTD. Some tools which process HTML documents might need to know which DTD an (X)HTML document uses: this is why each (X)HTML document needs, at the beginning, a DTD declaration, such as:
Given its syntax, the DTD declaration is often called, for short, "Doctype". http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html The default starting template from Komposer.
Define which html we're using.
Start html
Start the header where document specific information is given.End body. End html. Working with a template. From Komposer goto File / Open File and select index.html from the RedTie folder. The home page for every website is index.html.
