DOCTYPE

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
DOCTYPE
(DOCument TYPE) A code in an HTML, XHTML or XML page that informs the Web browser which version of the markup language was used to write the page in order to render it properly on screen. Typically the first line of code in the page, the DOCTYPE points to a Document Type Definition (DTD), which contains the markup rules. See DTD.

Unlike using the tables for layout, which tends to consume more time in showing the page, CSS and right DocType can display the pages fast.
Properly coded Meta tags such as DOCTYPE and Namespace are required in XHTML.
It automatically checks for your Doctype (document type, which is the type and level of HTML, XML, and other codes) and character encoding, or you can override it and run the validation against your own choice.
