(X)HTML

As noted on the Technologies main page, you probably don't have to be concerned about the programming languages, server environments, and so forth that are used for your website. It's our job to make your website work without you having to worry about such things.

XHTML is expected to be the future of HTML, the standard language used for web pages. At Castorid, we make every effort to ensure that the web pages we create for you conform to XHTML specifications, even though standard HTML will continue to be understood by web browsers for many years to come.

XHTML stands for eXtensible HyperText Markup Language, and represents a move toward unifying HTML and XML (eXtensible Markup Language), a major standard for data exchange over the internet.

XHTML defines the content and logical structure of a webpage. On this page, for example, it defines the letters "(X)HTML " at the top of the page as a header, lists the text that you are reading and defines subdivisions of that text as paragraphs. Nothing about the XHTML indicates how big the header or regular text should be, how much space there should be between paragraphs, or what color any of the text should be. All of that is defined by CSS.
