Validate XHTML With A DTD
An XHTML document is validated against a Document Type
Definition (DTD). Before an XHTML file can be properly
validated, a correct DTD must be added as the first line of the
file.
The Strict DTD includes elements and attributes that have not
been deprecated or do not appear in framesets:
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
The Transitional DTD includes everything in the strict DTD
plus deprecated elements and attributes:
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"
The Frameset DTD includes everything in the transitional DTD
plus frames as well:
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"
This is a simple XHTML document:
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>simple document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>a simple paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
