Description
While HTML, prior to HTML5, was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a flexible markup language framework, XHTML is an application of XML, a more restrictive subset of SGML.
Well-formed documents
XHTML documents are well-formed and may therefore be parsed using standard XML parsers.
HTML, by contrast, requires a lenient HTML-specific parser.
Recommendations and standards
XHTML 1.0 became a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation on January 26, 2000.
XHTML 1.1 became a W3C Recommendation on May 31, 2001.
The standard known as XHTML5 is being developed as an XML adaptation of the HTML5 specification
