A newbie question about HTML

I see this at times in .html files: <!DOCTYPE html> But what does this mean? Or is it just a comment?

It is used to signify the type of document. In your example, that signifies HTML5. The browsers and IDEs utilize this so it knows what information to feed back to you, such as errors or things that are deprecated. As well, it lets many IDEs know what type of predictions to give to you, and what type of errors to present to you.
