Hi Doctype is not an element. It gives instruction to the browser about web page's markup language's version. A DOCTYPE declaration appears at the top of the web page before starting all elements. Doctype is the first thing defined in an HTML document even before the opening html tag. Unlike html4 and earlier versions, There is only one declaration of doctype in HTML5 which is: > Hope this will help you. Thank you.
