XHTML
XHTML is an XML compatible version of HTML
that was promulgated by the W3C on the 26th of January 2000.
Here is a link to a sample page using XHTML:
[ sample.xhtml ]
Use this to test your browser.
The specification is at
[ http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/ ]
The W3 Consortiuum support the Web and provide

as a family of tools for learning the technology.
If I understand XML correctly the main changes will be that
- (1) All tags will have lower-case identifiers,
- (2) There will be no optional omitting of end tags from
certain structures like <p> and <br>,
(3)Endless tags will have the XML format <img ...../> or <br></br>.
(4)An attribute like ISMAP must be written like this ismap="ismap"
- (5)All attribute values must be quoted.
(6) An id attribute will be used instead of name.
