XHTML : Java Glossary

XHTML (extensible Hypertext Markup Language). The HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) to replace HTML 4.01. It has a tighter syntax specification which makes it easier to write a conforming browser or validator. It allows you to mix XML (extensible Markup Language) and HTML in the same document. This will allow smarter search engines that take into account the tag context of a piece of data. XHTML is almost identical to HTML 4.01. All tags must nest properly and all start tags must have a matching end tag, even and . All tags must be specified in lower case. You can prepare for XHTML by cleaning up your HTML. XHTML has two big advantages over HTML.

XHTML has a much stricter syntax. If the document is not perfect, the browser will refuse to render it. The advantage is, if your document works on one browser it will work on all.
It is a flavour of XML. This means it is designed for easy data extraction or semantic content to use the latest in term. In other words, most of your XML tools will work on your XHTML documents because they are also ordinary XML documents.

Like HTML, there three basic types of XHTML.

XHTML 1.0 Strict — Use this when you want really clean structural mark-up, free of any markup associated with layout. Use this together with W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) ’s CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to get the font, color and layout effects you want.
XHTML 1.0 Transitional — Many people writing Web pages for the general public to access might want to use this flavor of XHTML 1.0. The idea is to take advantage of XHTML features including style sheets but nonetheless to make small adjustments to your markup for the benefit of those viewing your pages with older browsers which can’t understand style sheets. These include using the body element with bgcolor, text and link attributes. The syntax rules are not quite so anally compulsive.
XHTML 1.0 Frameset — Use this when you want to use Frames to partition the browser window into two or more frames.

Because more than just browsers can process XHTML, the cognoscenti refer to anything that reads it as a user agent.

You can convert your web pages to XHTML using HTMLValidator Tidy, HTMLTidy, or Amaya.

When you are done, it looks pretty much as it always did with these exceptions:

All tags must perfectly balance. No leaving out </li> for example.
The <link and <meta tags in the header must be terminated XML style with space />.
Even has to balance, which your write as to act like  .
Your image tags also use the slash e.g. <img … />.
Your horizontal rules tags need the slash, e.g. <hr … />.
Fix your <param tags too.
You you generate HTML with Java code, you will have to correct every place it generates these tags.
Making balance is most of the work in a manual conversion. You need … surrounding the text of paragraph. You can’t use any longer is as if were identical to
Since XHTML is a flavor of XML, your document requires a goofy-looking XML header that looks like this:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
```
The catch is, if you include it as absolutely required, it will confuse some browsers such as IE (Internet Explorer). Take your pick.

Your <html> tag will expand to look like this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

Other than that, pretty much everything else is the same as ordinary HTML.

Converting to XHTML

Even if you don’t flip to XHTML right away, you can prepare for it now by getting your tags all balanced and everything syntax checked.

I am not at all convinced that converting to XHTML is a game worth the candle. It is a huge amount of mindless, pointless busy work. The resulting code is bulkier. The resulting code takes more work to maintain. I don’t see how the end result is really that much easier to extract information from as claimed. You can get an idea of what you are in for converting to XHTML by:

Running some sample pages through a converter like HTMLTidy to do the bullwork, like convert to
Prepend a strict XHTML header on your sample pages like this:
Then run your pages through a verifier like HTMLValidator and look at what errors pop out.

Strict XHTML has idiotic restrictions, for example that <a tags can’t appear in the body. They must be nested inside some other tag. You could spend months manually cleaning just that one problem, all to satisfy some prissy old bachelor at W3C who made up these arbitrary rules.

XHTML Entities

XHTML 1.0 uses the same entities as HTML 4, namely:

What I Really Think of XHTML

XHTML is an utterly ridiculous exercise. Its intent is to inconvenience humans and waste thousands of man years of labour to make the files marginally simpler for a computer to parse. That is a form of idolatry. Sacrificing labour to mildly convenience a computer is as silly as worshiping a computer with burnt offerings..

To add insult to injury. when you are done, some browsers, such as IE, will be confused by the XHTML header and a do a worse job of rendering than ever.
