Aye. However, if you want to satisfy the HTML Nazis, it's a good idea to put
in a DOCTYPE line as the first line in an HTML doc. Kind of like so:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
(old stuff, non-closed <li> or <p> elements, you know)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
(more strict; must be XML as well as HTML, more of a pain to write by hand,
but allows more extensive validation)
There are a few more doctypes, but that's a place to start.
