HTML Document
An HTML Document is a text file written for web browsers to read.
Absolute Basic HTML5 Document
The absolute basic HTML structure needed to define a document:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Doc Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Document content goes here. -->
</body>
</html>

Same as the most basic HTML structure but with some added common elements:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Doc Title</title>
<link name="global-styles" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/global.css">
<script name="globalsite-javascript" src="/js/global.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<header>
