Usage of the DOCTYPE tag is the define the version of HTML you are using so the browsers can parse it correctly. DOCTYPE is not a HTML tag, it is a document type definition (DTD).

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Using DOCTYPE to define the html version </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Your header </h1>
<hr>
<p>Your paragraph takes place here</p>
</body>
</html>
