This is the shortest thing starting with that doctype that I can get validator.w3.org to accept without error or warning:
<!doctype html><html lang=""><meta charset="UTF-8"><title>x</title>
- chrismorgan 5y agoThe ="" there is unnecessary; writing an attribute name only implies an empty value. If you’re going for shortest valid document at all, <!doctype html> is enough, provided the document exists in a context that makes title optional (e.g. email or <iframe srcdoc>) and that the charset is declared out-of-band.
- aparks517 5y agoYou may be able to use a UTF BOM instead of the meta tag, or I think someone mentioned elsewhere having the server declare the character encoding in a header. I guess it depends on whether you count the header size which is better for golfing.
