DescriptionXHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) is a revamped version of HTML designed as an XML-based markup language. It combines the flexibility of XML with the familiar syntax and structure of HTML. XHTML documents must adhere to strict XML syntax rules, ensuring elements are correctly nested and closed. This guarantees greater consistency and compatibility across various web browsers and devices. XHTML is commonly used for building web pages and applications, providing features such as support for multimedia content, forms, and styling via CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). It is a crucial standard in web development, enabling the creation of accessible, well-structured, and interoperable web content.
Technical detailsXHTML documents are written in XML syntax, requiring strict adherence to rules regarding structure and syntax.
