XHTML Web Design for Beginners - Part 2
Do you have no prior experience of Web Design (or very little)?
If you've dabbled with exporting HTML from Microsoft Word, or played around with FrontPage a little and want to understand what you're doing, then this article's for you!
Today we'll explore exactly what XHTML is, and how you can use it to start producing the next generation of Web pages.
This tutorial is broken into multiple parts, as follows:
Part 1 asks "Why use XHTML?", before we jump straight in and code our first HTML page. We then step through the basic building blocks of the technology, highlighting some of the benefits of XHTML along the way.
Part 2 builds on this knowledge, as we explore the advanced building blocks of XHTML, including comments, text, and more.
Part 3 considers the way XHTML deals with lists, graphics, and linking XHTML documents.
I have used bolding in the example XHTML throughout this article to make it easier for you to understand. The bolding is purely there for this reason and serves no other purpose.
