Web Developer Resource Index: XHTML

The Extensible Hypertext Markup Language is HTML 4.01 rewritten as an XML application language. The concept behind this new family of standardized markup languages for Web documents is that they be both backwardly compatible with existing user agents (browsers), and provide for the new technology of an XML-based Web of the future.

This Web site is written in the latest of the four versions of XHTML: 1.1. At the time of the writing, XHTML 2.0 is a W3C Working Draft, and will not be backwardly compatible with HTML. It will included fewer presentation elements, new structural elements such as <nl>, and is completely modular allowing you to import new XML applications such as XForms.
