Don't panic, what you learn with HTML won't be wasted.
Quote:
Writing XHTML requires that you follow the rules of conformant XML, such as correct syntax and structure. As XHTML looks so much like classic HTML, it faces no compatibility problems as long as some simple coding guidelines are followed.
A lot of XHTML looks much the same as HTML. You won't have to re-learn everything, many tags remain the same.
Take something simple like the break tag, which doesn't have a closing tag.
In HTML it's <br> in XHTML it becomes <br /> The / implies closing of the tag it doesn't require another tag to close it, (the space is needed before the /)
All the best - Duncan
