A Basic HTML Page Template?

HTML-CSS
1

Hello all. I’m trying to create a basic HTML page template that I can copy and paste. There seems to be several ways to do this, so I’m trying to make all my projects uniform. Right now it looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">
	<title>(Title)</title>
	<meta name="description" content="(Description)">
	<meta name="author" content="(Author)">

	(links to Bootstrap, Google Fonts, external CSS files)
</head>
<body>
	(content)
	(links to external JS files)
</body>
</html>

Am I missing something, or is something that needs to be changed?

you have couple of good answers above, important if you think about responsive view is the viewport, other than that it looks good!

VS Code and other IDE/text editors have some default snippets, or you can find plugins, that output a nice html template when you type ! then tab, or html then tab.

Here’s another resource I have used for what can go in the head element.
