we use the <!DOCTYPE html> to specify the version of html that we are using for to specify transition between html4 and xhtml or html 5 we use <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd> <html xmlns="http:w3.org/1999/xhtml"> this is just a way to tell the browser that the code I'm using is between html4 and xhtml and its important to put it so the browser easily understands your language

SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is a standard for how to specify a document markup language or tag set. Such a specification is itself a document type definition (DTD). SGML is not in itself a document language, but a description of how to specify one.
