So why would you want to use X<strong>HTML</strong>?<br />

By using <strong>HTML</strong> 4.01 Strict, you’re already reaping some of the<br />

benefits of X<strong>HTML</strong>. However, because X<strong>HTML</strong> is XML, it has<br />

some interesting advantages beyond <strong>HTML</strong> 4.01. Let’s take a look<br />

I like keeping up <strong>with</strong><br />

trends and technologies.<br />

X<strong>HTML</strong> is the future, and since<br />

By using X<strong>HTML</strong><br />

I’m future-proofing my Web<br />

pages to take advantage of all<br />

more likely to work on mobile devices<br />

and a variety of browsers.<br />

Unlike <strong>HTML</strong>, X<strong>HTML</strong> can<br />

be extended to include new<br />

markup. For instance, there<br />

are already extensions that add<br />

elements for vector graphics<br />

and mathematical formulas.<br />
