The following is still used in most older HTML editors (e.g., Netscape Composer and MS FrontPage)
<![CDATA[
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2
Final//EN">
]]>
For HTML 4.0, use this one:
<![CDATA[
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
]]>
