<doctype html>. </html>
a. doctype statement is incorrect. for html5 it is
Quote:<!DOCTYPE html>
b. Doctype is also not an html tag, it is an instruction to the browser and therefore does not need a closing tag... thus the following is also incorrect usage.
Quote:<doctype html>. </html>

like
this
you can use this to split up a paragraph in hopes to make you code or your webpage look neater.
the <br> tag is meant for putting line breaks. It is not meant to seperate paragraphs. That is what the <p> tag is for.
Also, the <br> tag is a void element, it has no end tag. While </br> will work, it is not "valid" html. If you want to get into xhtml then the correct use of the break tag is <br />

Again, this is incorrect use of the doctype. the statement is wrong AND there is no closing tag. Quite frankly the browser starts reading the source from the doctype.
I did not know about the <abbr> tag however... so it goes to show even experienced coders can learn something knew from a basic tutorial lol.
