      @jed so quirky!

   Is a <title> even needed?

   And I still type, with my little fingers:

   <!DOCTYPE HTML>

   Sheer force of (ancient) habit, I guess.

      @iamdavidobrien https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/minimal-html has some info on that!

         The DOCTYPE, <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">, is optional.

         Jeez. I spent years typing that out (or more likely copy/pasting from some @w3c tutorial, who can remember all that?) in the 2000s.

         Thank you for retrospectively cowronging me.

         (Not a word, I know. Should be.)

            @iamdavidobrien @w3c optional technically but important for strict mode, so I wouldn’t recommend leaving it out 😅

            but title is required!
