>>I am working on refactoring some pages of my project that were initially developed with HTML 4 standard to HTML 5.
>>
>>Currently the top of the pages has the following DOCTYPE statement:
>>
>>
>><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >
>>
>>
>>Should I remove this line of code to make the page conform to the HTML 5 standard?
>>
>>Also, the top tag HTML of the page(s) does not have the [lang="en"] attribute. Do HTML 5 pages require it? As for example:
>>
>>
>><html lang="en">
>>
>
>Yes, simply put this:
>
>
><!DOCTYPE html>
>
Thank you.
