Guide Review - HTML & XHTML The Definitive Guide
If you haven't heard of XHTML yet, maybe it's time you did. XML is becoming more and more popular all the time. XML is a metalanguage. This means that it tells the markup languages, like HTML, what to do. The best thing about XML is that it can be changed, and personalized to be used for any purpose, by anyone.
When you read through this book, you will not only learn XML, you will learn HTML first. The first two-thirds of the book have been written to teach you HTML, the right way. When you are using XML you must close all your tags, even the ones you wouldn't normally close when using HTML. You will learn why, and how to do this.
