xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>My first page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My first XHTML page!</h1>
</body>
</html>

Save the file as first firstdoc.html

NOTE: Make sure that you give the file a .html extension and that you save it as type 'All Files', otherwise you will get plain text.
