<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
     <title></title>
     <meta charset="utf-8">
  </head>
  <body>
    <header></header>
    <section></section>
    <footer></footer>
  </body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <!-- here you will add your html code -->
  </html>

be sure to uppercase the dock type to declare it as html 5.

hope that helps.
