Ah, so it's "tell" you have the problem with

So let's try another draft

"The document type declaration (*) is used by the the web browser
to
identify what type of document it will treat it as, and what set of

I have to say though, although your comments have (as always) been
entirely accurate, you could have been a little more helpful by simply
giving an example of what you considered correct, rather than just
griping about what was wrong. Teaching isn't about how much you know,
it's about how much you can communicate.
