XHTML is almost exactly like HTML, making it an easy language to convert to. There's just a few main big things that strike the difference between HTML and XHTML: All tags must be closed properly, all tags and attributes must be lowercase, and all tags must be nested properly. (And, of course, you must change your Document Type Declaration to XHTML) Make sure you close all tags. Normal spanning tags like divisions are easy to close (Put

, for example). However, there are some tags such as the "br" tag that need to be self-closed. To self-close a tag, put a space after the tag name / last attribute in the tag, but before the greater-than sign ending the tag, and a forward-slash immediately after it. To close the "br" tag:
A tag you start must be ended after you end any other tags you started inside the tag in question. Confusing, right? Here's an example. Bad: Test Good:Test Note that the "i" tag is ended before the "b" tag. This is very easy to fix in your HTML. Just make sure every tag and attribute is lowercased. Attribute values do not need to be lowercased. The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) provides a validation service to validate a document against the standards they have set for HTML and XHTML. You can find this validation service in the related links.
