# 5 Header Tags

Each document begins with a header part, which looks the same for all DTDs. Here the title of the document is specified, as well as administrative data like who is responsible for the document, which version is it, when was it last changed and such.

An full header looks like:

    <header>
      <copyright>...</copyright>
      <legalnotice>...</legalnotice>
      <title>...</title>
      <prepared>...</prepared>
      <responsible>...</responsible>
      <docno>...</docno>
      <approved>...</approved>
      <checked>...</checked>
      <date>...</date>
      <rev>...</rev>
      <file>...</file>
    </header>
