The Complete Guide to XHTML

xhtml logoXHTML, which stands for eXtensible HyperText Markup Language, is a XML based document format designed to provide the same functionality as HTML, the common format used by web pages.

Most modern web browsers support the XHTML format, with the notable exception being early versions of Internet Explorer, which will prompt users to download the file instead of displaying it as a web page.
