 * Hello,
 * I am learning how to make a Word Press theme from scratch. In the tutorial it
   asks me to add the below code. **It’s supposed to be an opening HTML tag with
   attributes that will make the type of page I’m creating more apparent to the 
   browser. **
 * However I don’t use Internet Explorer. Windows 10 replaced IE with Microsoft 
   Edge. I also use Firefox more than any other browser. What should I replace **
   IE 8** with?
 * <!–[if IE 8]>
    <html id=”ie8″ <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <![endif]–> <!–[
   if !(IE 8) ]><!–> <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <!–<![endif]–>

 * The code with IE 8 is meant for the people who will see the website( using your
   theme) in old IE8 browser. Though you are not using IE8, you have to take of 
   all browsers so that your theme looks good in all browser.

 * All right, and how do I include all browsers? What kind of code will I use? What
   do I replace **IE 8** with?

 * I guess my question is, what are the other browser codes called? For example,
   FireFox’s latest version is called FireFox 38.0.5. Do I replace **IE 8 **with**
   FireFox 38.0.5**?
