HTML 4.01 / XHTML 1.0 Reference To publish information for global distribution, one needs a universally understood language, a kind of publishing mother tongue that all computers may potentially understand. The publishing language used by the World Wide Web is HTML ( from HyperText Markup Language ). Most people agree that HTML documents should work well across different browsers and platforms. Achieving interoperability lowers costs to content providers since they must develop only one version of a document. If the effort is not made, there is much greater risk that the Web will devolve into a proprietary world of incompatible formats, ultimately reducing the Web's commercial potential for all participants. HTML has been developed with the vision that all manner of devices ( PCs with graphics displays of varying resolution and color depths, cellular telephones, hand held devices, devices for speech for output and input, computers with high or low bandwidth, and so on ) should be able to use information on the Web. HTML 4 extends HTML with mechanisms for style sheets, scripting, frames, embedding objects, improved support for right to left and mixed direction text, richer tables, and enhancements to forms, offering improved accessibility for people with disabilities. HTML 4.01 is a revision of HTML 4.0. XHTML is not very different from the HTML 4.01 standard. XHTML consists of all the elements in HTML 4.01, combined with the strict syntax of XML ( EXtensible Markup Language ).
