<!DOCTYPE> means DOC TYPE DEFINITION
<!DOCTYPE html means its html document
PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" says to browser that public identifier (FPI) ‘‘W3C XHTML 1.0 Strict English’’
and at last \"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\" is the url where we can find full DTD .
