You can use XHTML if there is any chance you are going to need to reprocess your content, for example to send it to a PDA; XML's stricter syntax rules make automatic processing of XHTML much easier and cheaper than ordinary HTML
No. HTML existed before XHTML. XHTML combines XML and HTML, so it is an advancement on HTML.
HTML and XHTML are two different languages used for web and application design. XHTML was a popular choice from about the year 2000, to 2011. HTML 5 is intended to replace XHTML. XHTML followed the basic rules of XML-based languages. HTML (both prior and since) do not.
HTML is in XHTML, some argue that XHTML is it's own markup
The World Wide Web Consortium, or the W3C. They set the standards and specifications of HTML and XHTML, and how it should be used.
XHTML is used as a stricter view of HTML. People who like to make the code clean and nice use XHTML.
That is what seems to be happening already. XHTML is being used more than normal HTML for modern websites, since it forces better cross-browser compatibility -- meaning that multiple browsers viewing the same page should see the same thing. HTML may never fully take over XHTML; however, at this rate, XHTML will be the markup language most commonly used for webpages.
The currently used ones are HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 or 1.1, and HTML5. XHTML has several doctypes available, which are sorta like mini-versions.
No, XHTML is a parallel language to HTML. XHTML is a XML language definition where tags have similar meanings to corresponding HTML tags. A crude analogy would be that XHTML and HTML are half-brothers; Lot's of similarities but also distinct differences. The successor of HTML is HTML5, the successor of XHMTL is XHTML5.
basikly xhtml is a mics of html and xml. the difference in html and xhtml is that xhtml is a more strict on the syntax and defined as a xml document. xml is a self defined language... in short it is a strikter html in xml format...
HTML and XHTML are both markup languages used to markup content for display on web browsers or other compatible devices. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and XHTML stands for eXtensible HyperText Markup Language. XHTML was created to help make HTML more XML like in structure and usage as compared to standard HTML.
HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language and is the basic language used to program/code websites. XHTML - Extensible Hypertext Markup Language and is a family of XML Languages.
Yes, XHTML is just the stricter form of HTML. It means that you have to close all the tags that you have opened.
