Study hall: Learn about some nuts and bolts.
HTML/ XHTML Elements
HTML elements, the basic building blocks of the web. Pretty stable, but still evolving. We’re up to HTML 4.01 now, and XHTML 1.0, and people are starting to fight over whether the next step should be HTML 5.0 or XHTML 2.0. OK, guys, figure it out already so I know which one to learn. Or will it have to be both? Too early to tell. Stay tuned.
