Template.html
Simple
A simple page based on the XHTML doctype, and UTF-8 (Unicode) as the character encoding.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello world</p>
</body>
</html>
NB: When using in PHP, the character set cannot be set with the <?xml> tag -- as this kind of tag conflicts with the PHP parser.
Scripting & CSS
Example with placeholders for Javascript and CSS Stylesheets (both inline and external).
