Web Design in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

The XHTML Family

XHTML is not just one, but a family of document types. Between January 2000 and June 2001, the W3C turned out four XHTML Recommendations: XHTML 1.0, XHTML Basic, the Modularization of XHTML, and XHTML 1.1. They are currently reviewing XHTML 2.0 and XHTML-Print, both based on modular XHTML. This section takes a brief look at each one. You can find detailed and up-to-date information on the W3C site at http://w3c.org/MarkUp. (For example, on May 27, 2005, the seventh working draft of XHTML 2.0 was published.)
