mlq002 Yes, XHTML uses different DTD than that of HTML 4 or HTML 5. The link in Martin Taylor's answer got the samples for various DTDs.

In the video, since they said it was wrong, did they show the right way? Which HTML version is covered in the video? need to confirm that because DTD differs between HTML 4 and HTML 5.
