Hello,
I’m following the XHTML video tutorial. The main difference between HTML5 and XHTML is that single tags are closed with a slash. <img />, <hr />.
I was wondering if the same is done with doctype, meta and link.
> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" />
> <meta charset="utf-8" />
> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/xhtml-should-doctype-meta-and-link-be-closed-as-single-tags/411625/./stylesheet.css" />
Thank you for your understanding on my question.

Yes, for all elements in the html structure. This includes things like meta and links.
The doctype is different because it’s an instruction to the browser on how to interpret the html and everything in it. Therefore, it is not a markup tag per se and does not have a closing slash.
