XTML vs. HTML

[Edge]

Okay you will have to explain "whither irony".

It's my fancy Shakespearean way of saying whatever happened to irony?

Aaaah, I was being somewhat sardonic regarding M$ Windows cack-handed handling of templates for creating files so the irony of it was lost on me

Tell you what - we're getting through the dictionary today - now I've just had to look up sardonic...

HTML5 has two parsing modes or syntaxes: HTML and XML. The difference depends on whether the document is served with a Content-type: text/html header or a Content-type: application/xml+xhtml header.

 

[chrishirst]

HTML is SGML-based while XHTML is XML-based.

WRONG!!!

XHTML is a document type declaration ( DTD ) to be used when transforming machine readable XML into markup language (HTML) that a browser can render into human readable text and images, it is STILL a subset of SGML by the virtue of XML being a restrictive subset of SGML.

You guys should really learn the difference between a language and a document specification.

 

[chrishirst]

XHTML was derived from HTML to conform to XML standards. Hence XHTML is strict when compared to HTML and does not allow user to get away with lapses in coding and structure.

Nope!
