XHTML and HTML
Now that we have an understanding of the background of XHTML let's talk about some of the differences between XHTML and HTML.

The basic XHTML document
The first thing we need to define is our basic XHTML document format, the framework of which we will begin all our XHTML pages.

XHTML Document Form
XHTML is primarily made up of two things, markup tags and content. A markup tag is used to delimit content. Content plus the beginning and end tags that delimit it, constitute a document element.

XHTML Coding
The first thing you need to know about changing over to XHTML as the new standard is that there really isn't much new to learn. No new tags or attributes have been added into your repertoire, like HTML 4 (although a few have been deprecated); this is just a move towards good, valid and efficient coding. XHTML documents stress logical structure and simplicity, and use CSS for nearly all presentational concerns.

Many of you may have heard of XHTML but your wondering what it is and why use it? Well I will try my best to explain what it is and how to use it correctly. XHTML stands for Extensible HyperText Markup Language, and is quoted by W3.org like this…

XHTML CODING RULES AND SYNTAX
While these coding rules apply to XHTML, it is strongly recommended that you also follow these same rules when coding HTML.

Basics of XHTML
XHTML is a word that may seem intimidating to some of you who are just learning HTML. I want to alleviate some of that fear for you. XHTML is really not all that much different from HTML. XHTML is really just well formed HTML. XHTML is a form of XML that Web browsers can use.

Syntax
The syntax of XHTML is exactly the same as HTML, except for a few rules you need to follow. These rules ensure that the page is written cleanly, with correct code. Below are the rules of XHTML. You'll notice that some of the rules are the same as those of XML. XML's syntax rules are very strict, so in order to accomodate it, XHTML's rules are strict in many of the same ways.

En wikibooks - A Basic XHTML Document
Now, we're going to make a simple XHTML document. As I said before, the document starts with an html tag. The document also ends with /html. The HTML tag is refered to as the root element. Within those tags, there are two elements nested: the head element and the body element. Of course, other elements may be nested or sub-nested within these elements.

What is XHTML
XHTML stands for extended HTML. It extends HTML 4.01 and is based on the XML document family. It is the next generation markup language for web pages, approved by W3C in 2000. XHTML documents are conform with XML, which means they are ready to be viewed, edited and validated with standard XML tools as well as XHTML conforming user agents.
