hey peoplei am starting to learn making websites, now i want to know what is the difference b/w HTML and XHTML; kindly keep it simple and jargon free pls. :)also, what mark up language i shall use between these two to start with?
HTML vs Xhtml; which one to start with
html;xhtml
Instead of reinventing the wheel, here's a great post explaining the difference between the two. But to quote w3schools and give you a basic summary:The Most Important Differences:XHTML elements must be properly nestedXHTML elements must always be closedXHTML elements must be in lowercaseXHTML documents must have one root elementThey're so similar that it really doesn't matter which one you learn first as the differences are minor for what you want to do. I'd say start with HTML as it is technically simpler and branch out to xHTML once you think you're ready.
