SIMPLIFIED DOCTYPE XHTML 1.0 Transitional <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"! "http://www.w3.org/ TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> HTML5 <!DOCTYPE html>

SIMPLIFIED STYLES XHTML 1.0 Transitional <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”file.css” type=”text/css” media=”all”> <style type=”text/css”>...</style> HTML5 <link rel=stylesheet file=file.css> <style>...</style>

SIMPLIFIED JS EMBEDDING XHTML 1.0 Transitional <script type=”text/javascript”> /* <![CDATA[ */ alert(‘are we there yet?’); /* ]]> */ </script> HTML5 <script> alert(‘hooray!’); </script>
