What is XHTML?

This screen is part of a Web Feed Reference section for the Web Feed Generator. Please ask us if you cannot find the answer to your question.

XHTML is the technical name for a format used to create Web pages. XHTML is based on the original language of Web pages (HTML), but has extra rules about the way it is written. This combination makes Web pages in XHTML compatible with most modern Web browsers and allows software systems to process the text and extract information much more readily.

The Web Feed Generator is designed to work equally well with Web pages created in HTML and XHTML, provided they follow the standard formatting rules recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
