XHTML Tutorial - 5 - Unordered Lists and Blockquotes

Man, you are awesome! I learnt so much from you! You have made something very noble for the mankind. We thank you!

No block-level element, including BLOCKQUOTE can be in a P (both HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 forbid it), and in XHTML Strict additional requirement is that BLOCKQUOTE must contain a block-level element, so you can't type only text inside a BLOCKQUOTE element.

And it's bad style to use BLOCKQUOTE - an element that is meant to be used for long quotes - just to indent text, unless it happens to be a quote.

I tried going to your website and it looks unusual. It says "index of /". Is it working. I can't really use it.

Thanx homie this is a nice 1 dam I'm been trying to learn this stuff for along time.

HTML 4.01 is the final HTML version. Future work by the W3C is being done on XHTML, which is based on XML.

XHTML redefines HTML in terms of XML. Basically its the new name for the continuing versions.

Wrong html v. 4.01 is not final html5 is coming out!!!

[PyroZer0]

I stand corrected. Very interesting.

So When would you use HTML 5 vs. XHTML?

[megametalpriest]

@PyroZer0 to be strictly techncial, html is already a dialect of xml, but we just refer to html and xml as different entities because html does not per say have the abilities to use xml in order to achieve greater flexibility.

i realize that this comment was written by you 2 years ago, so I will not hold you to blame for saying html 4.01 is the final version of html by w3c, as obviously html5 is becoming more and more mainstream.

[PyroZer0]

@megametalpriest Thanks for the timely response. You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

WTH, this is just like html....I still don't see the difference between html and xhtml...

[megametalpriest]

@Xjkjk3264X the difference visually, is basically being more proper aka enclosing attribute values in double quotes, writing tag/attribute names in lowercase, etc

the core difference is the integration with xml that xhtml has. you are not noticing it because bucky only really covers/uses/shows the visual differences between html and xhtml in this series.

html 4.01 written in such style that is compliant with the strict doctype is almost entirely equal in style with xhtml.
