XHTML and HTML Resources - Web Center

HTML is no longer being developed. The last version of HTML was HTML 4.01. A new markup language called Extensible HyperText Markup Language (XHTML) takes HTML's place. XHTML is very similar to HTML but has a few different syntax (formatting) rules and is stricter in its requirements. Use these resources to learn XHTML.
