Hi what's the ideal and recommended doctype declaration for a website with mobile and desktop visitors?

In 2016 it's easy, HTML5 DOCTYPE for everything... 


<!DOCTYPE html>


It's backward compatible, meaning that it triggers "standards mode" (or "almost") in old browsers, such as IE6.

(BTW this is an HTML question, not Apache.)
