Title: no doctype? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # no doctype? * Resolved [catwingz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/catwingz/) * (@catwingz) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-doctype/) * I probably wouldn’t have noticed this if I weren’t working on some extra coding, but I noticed that Quark has no doctype. I realize that the boilerplate is the same way, but I can’t see how this could be valid. Please explain, or tell me which one I should be using. I’m really enjoying working with this theme and would like to keep things as correct as possible.
