In the first, "charset" should only have one "s".
In the second, the word "title" should only have 2 "t"s.

Courses Plus Student 18,830 PointsHey Alastair! Don't forget to add back-ticks, ```, before and after any code snippets you add in your post. Otherwise the code won't show up. I went ahead and added them here for you. :) You can also use the preview eye in the lower right corner of the post box to preview your post and make sure it looks how you'd like it to before you actually post it.

Courses Plus Student 1,456 PointsThat doesn't matter right, if its uppercase or lower-case <!DOCTYPE html>?
Kristopher Van Sant
Courses Plus Student 18,830 PointsHey Klaas, you're correct. The DOCTYPE is case-insensitive. So it can be lowercase as well. However, it's best practice to have it in uppercase. From what I've seen elsewhere there may be some weird and rare quirks with old IE browsers if you use a lowercase doctype. And it may affect serving XML, which (from what I've read) requires it to be uppercase if you use it.
Here's a few resources about it if anyone is interested.
