WHY DO I NEED XHTML? |
WHAT IS HTML? |
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is code that is interpreted by the search engines to format documents in a particular way.

WHAT IS XHTML? |
| The term XHTML is the next evolution of HTML. It is more tuned for compatibility with search engines on a wide range of devices. |
The reason the W3C
and others have gone to all the trouble of creating XHTML (when you already have HTML) is that once your web pages are written in XHTML, all sorts of things become possible that aren't possible with HTML. |
