Simple

Template for a modern HTML5 page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="" xml:lang="">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=yes" />
  <title>Untitled</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello world!</p>
</body>
</html>

The DOCTYPE is important to specify. When it's missing, many browsers (Internet Explorer in particular) will format the using "quirks mode" -- or using exceptions to modern CSS rules to support the historical (and deprecated) behavior of web browsers.

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.
