Option: doctype

This option enables you to specify the doctype that is used while editing content within TinyMCE.

The default value is set to: 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

This option does not affect the format of tags: "<br>" versus "<br />". See element_format option instead.

Note however that there is no need to change the doctype to XHTML because TinyMCE will produce XHTML in any case. Read the comments here [1].

On the other hand, if you set it to XHTML your IE7 users will have problem selecting the edit area.

If unsure, don't specify the doctype.

[edit]

Example of usage of the doctype option: 

tinyMCE.init({
	...
	doctype : '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">'
});
