[NEW] HTML5 Doctype - [H]ell - Feb 23, 2012
HTML 5 finally got the smart idea, to create a new simplified doctype.
Over the years doctypes became more and more retarded, and I was to lazy to ever remember them. So I had to copy them from another website each time I made a new website.
Anyway the new HTML5 Doctype is:
Code
<!DOCTYPE html>Previous docryptes
XHTML 1 Strict
Code
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">HTML 4 Strict
Code
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">* - pushl %ebp - Feb 23, 2012
Two things.
1. Don't use HTML5, it's crap and contains a lot of rubbish that wont be support/isn't considered safe to use. E.g. Outdated browsers are still lurking.
2. The long Doctypes actually mean something. HTML5's Doctype is short because a new standard has been bought it. Every time the words 'Standard' and 'w3c' are involved, blame IE for being a headache involving what ever issues you may have.

Haha! Sometimes I did that too.

Wait what, wasn't that possible since like a long time now?
