[gutvol-d] html header-stuff, doctype and content-type

i'm preparing an e-text for submission, and need some info. here's the stuff i've got at the top of my .html file right now. [html] [head] [title]the title [/title] [/head] [body] [il] [ul] what do i need, in the form of a doctype and content-type lines, to run it through the validator? my .html throughout is minimal, and the text is all 7-bit, so i prefer to use the most basic doctype/content-type possible. thanks. -bowerbird p.s. here is the full total of the markup i'm using: [a href="#b01"][/a] ... [a href="#c56"][/a] [a href="#toc"][/a] [br /] [center][/center] [em][/em] [h1][/h1] [h2][/h2] [head][/head] [hr /] [html][/html] [il] [p id="b01"] ... [p id="c56"] [p id="toc"] [p][/p] [small][/small] [title][/title] [ul]
