Force IE10 to run in IE10 Compatibility View

internet explorerinternet-explorer-10

I have an app that is broke in IE10 but runs fine in IE10 Compatibility View. A quick google results in the 

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">
<!-- plus variations such as emulate, quirks, 7, 8, 9 --->

tag. Some MS documentation on the tag is here. If you press F12 you can see that it changes the document mode. I need it to change the Browser Mode to Internet Explorer 10 Compatibility View. Is there any tag that will do this?

UPDATE
I need to mention that I have tried all of the following doctypes and none of them work. I think the only way to get this to work in IE10 is to use Compatibility View. 

<!--

    TRIED NO DOCTYPE AT ALL TOO

If you want to set the compatibility mode in the browser itself and not in the html do the following

  1. Open IE 10
  2. Press the ALT Key to bring up the IE Menubar
  3. Click on the Tools menu
  4. Click on compatibility view setting.
  5. Clicks check the box; display all the websites in compatibility view or
  6. Add only the desired websites to the compatibility view

As shown in the image below. The website should then open up with IE 10 Compatibility view.
