Use when applies to all HTML documents. Always check the very first line of the raw HTML source (view-source: or DevTools > Network > Response). In SSR frameworks, check the root HTML template (e.g., _document.tsx in Next.js, index.html in Vite/Vue, application.html.erb in Rails). The doctype is not a tag — it is a declaration and does not need a closing tag.

Without the HTML5 doctype, browsers fall back to Quirks Mode, which emulates the rendering behavior of pre-standards browsers from the late 1990s. In Quirks Mode, the CSS box model changes (padding adds to element width), vertical centering breaks, and many modern HTML5 APIs may behave unexpectedly. This causes cross-browser rendering inconsistencies that are difficult to debug and may produce inaccessible layouts.
<!DOCTYPE html> as its very first line<!DOCTYPE html> (uppercase DOCTYPE) is the conventional formCheck the very first line of the HTML document source (not the DOM — the raw HTTP response). The document must begin with <!DOCTYPE html> (case-insensitive). Flag if: (1) the doctype is missing entirely; (2) an old HTML4 or XHTML doctype is used (contains PUBLIC and a DTD URL); (3) the doctype is not the absolute first content (whitespace or BOM before it triggers some browsers to enter Quirks Mode); (4) the doctype has incorrect syntax.
Add <!DOCTYPE html> as the absolute first line of the HTML document, before the <html> tag. Remove any old HTML4 or XHTML doctypes. Ensure no whitespace, comments, or BOM markers precede the doctype. For framework projects: verify in the root HTML template file, and confirm in the rendered HTML by viewing page source in the browser.
The DOCTYPE declaration tells the browser which version of HTML the document uses. <!DOCTYPE html> activates Standards Mode (also called Full Standards Mode) in all modern browsers, ensuring consistent rendering behavior. Without it, browsers enter Quirks Mode to emulate old IE behavior — a compatibility mode that changes the box model, float clearing, table rendering, and other CSS behaviors. The HTML5 doctype was intentionally made simple (just <!DOCTYPE html>) to replace the verbose HTML4/XHTML doctypes that required a full DTD URL.
Review templates, server-rendered HTML, and shared components that output markup related to Use the HTML5 doctype. Flag exact elements, attributes, and routes where the rendered HTML violates the rule.

概要と使いどころ
Use when reviewing templates, rendered HTML, or shared components related to Create a custom 404 error page. Validate the final browser-facing markup, not just the source framework abstraction.

Use when auditing metadata, crawlability, structured data, or indexability related to Create a dedicated About page. Verify the rendered HTML and HTTP response rather than relying only on source files.

Use when reviewing component libraries, page flows, or CI pipelines that need repeatable accessibility checks. Automated testing is strongest at catching structural and attribute-level issues; it does not replace keyboard, screen reader, and manual UX testing.

Use when reviewing sign-in, sign-up, MFA, CAPTCHA, recovery, and re-auth flows. Evaluate the full authentication path, including error handling and backup methods, not just the primary login form.
