HTML and XHTML use a similar language syntax; tags, elements and everything. If you know HTML, you know messy XHTML: XHTML is a "clean" HTML. * Tags can be written in any case (uppercase or lowercase). * Some tags do not need to be closed. * HTML is parsed by systems based off of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). * HTML provides less accurate reading, and needs more time to read and manipulate data. * Some parsers cannot even manipulate HTML data, which is a big problem with more finicky devices (like mobile devices). * Tags must be written in lowercase. * All tags must be closed. * Tags must be properly nested -- no overlapping elements. * XHTML is parsed by XML parsers. * XHTML provides more accurate reading, and requires less time to read and manipuate data. * If a device can parse XML (which many modern devices can), the device can manipulate XHTML data to their needs (for example, to fit a website into the screen of a mobile phone).
