Have I just asked a question that has a huge answer? or can you very _simple_ summarise it in a paragraph?XML is a scheme[1] of markeup, HTML is an application of another scheme of markup (SGML).
HTML and XML are subsets of SGML. Latest moves by the w3c.org is to make html standardised to xml. XHTML sorta means there is no difference between XML and HTML now.
HTML is to XML as a WinZip (written in C++) is to Java.
Eh?
I guess so! :( Will you reccommend a good introductary book plz?
Spend your hours on w3c.org. There are good intros and slides there, although I must admit, a bit of a bitch to navigate at times. My site is a good example of XHTML: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/hendry/content/tips.shtml Feel free to use it as a template. XHTML is really nice as it forces nice code layout. all tags must be complete and in lower case for example. Older versions of HTML were less strict. Regards, -Kai
