Combining the Worlds of HTML XHTML and CSS (06/13/2009)

(...) While XHTML is mostly compatible with HTML, many older HTML documents decidedly are not compatible with XHTML. Some developers, notably those creating dynamic HTML documents, already have encountered the need for stricter and more consistent structures. It's very hard to create 'dynamic' documents if the scripting logic can't consistently reference points in a document. (...)

HTML and XHTML Application Possibilities (06/02/2007)
(...) Some Web browsers enable users to edit HTML and send it back to a server; but the editor is more or less a separate application useful only for editing HTML, not general-purpose interaction with a server application. XHTML provides a transition from the HTML model for Web applications to the more powerful and more flexible XML model. While XHTML applications will start out much like HTML applications, XHTML will enable application developers to integrate XML tools with the HTML vocabulary. (...)

XML and CDATA (06/02/2007)
(...) Using processing instructions is not a good idea unless you pass your XHTML through XML processors that understand particular processing instructions or the W3C creates some standard ones, which isn't very likely to happen for XHTML. Processing instructions can appear anywhere in an XML document except inside of markup. They can appear before a document (but after the XML declaration, if there is one), any place text can appear within elements (though not within the tags), and after a document. (...)

Fixing Static HTML (06/02/2007)

If you need to convert your documents to Wireless Markup Language or some other presentation variant, you can use scripts and the DOM, Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT), or other XML-based tools to handle the conversion. You can move from one structure to another without having to read the markup byte by byte and guess what's supposed to happen. Finally, XHTML enables you to do things such as use XML repositories for your documents, opening up easier and more powerful referencing, fragmenting, and searching possibilities. (...)

Fixing HTML Generating Code (06/02/2007)
(...) Some developers, especially those fond of writing "obfuscated" code, have created large amounts of code that does what it's supposed to but is difficult to manage or modify. Proper coding practice may have been understood better in the relatively short period the Web has existed than in the period when most of the code that wasn't Y2K-compliant was written – but those practices haven't been honored necessarily. Hack-and-slash code, cut-and-pasted out of various examples, has been popular on the Web (even encouraged). (...)

You must combine the basic tools described in Article 6 with the approach described in Article 15, and you should document your work in an abstract module that goes beyond simple DTD creation. While there is definitely extra work involved in creating a formal XHTML module that uses all the parameterization conventions created by the W3C, this approach should produce a more usable result.

Rather than develop a formal vocabulary for a relatively freeform area, let users include XHTML in this area. That enables them to handle some critical possibilities such as: - Adding extra emphasis to an order that absolutely must be delivered overnight - Providing tables, charts, and diagrams explaining what the contents of the order will be used for (for cases in which technical assistance may be necessary) - Extra pleading to send the shipment even though the last three payments didn't clear - Requests for extra discounts - Thanks for previous excellent service Some of these may seem frivolous, but all of them represent exceptional circumstances that happen fairly frequently in the real world.

Is Formal XHTML Module Inclusion Worth the Trouble (06/02/2007)
(...) Is Formal XHTML Module Inclusion Worth the Trouble? The W3C has put forth a number of specifications that offer different approaches to mixing XML and XHTML, and the browser vendors (as previously noted) have focused on only one of those approaches – using namespaces to separate XML from HTML vocabulary. This approach doesn't require any DOCTYPE magic, nor do you have to create and manipulate parameterized XHTML DTDs. At the same time, however, you definitely lose something by skipping out on the DTD creation process described in the last article. (...)
