What is the difference between <doctype html>
and <DOCTYPE html>
?
There is no functional difference between <doctype html> and <DOCTYPE html>.
Both are valid and will work the same way in browsers. The choice between lowercase and uppercase is a matter of convention, with lowercase being more commonly used in modern HTML documents.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello, world!</p>
</body>
</html>
