Any idea about XHTML?

I came across with the XHTML, but after i read for awhile, I'm still not clear the differences among, HTML, XHTML, XML, XLS.

Anyone knows?

XHTML is just a "stricter" version of HTML. You have some exprience coding in HTML, you would realise that most of the time, you can omit the "closing" tag. However, to have a fully XHTML website, you can no longer have a "broking" HTML tag.

XML, unlike HTML, is a "language" to describe data. It is extensible i.e. you can have your own set of tags. XML is very important especially for web services. Web service would take in request as a form of xml message and return value as an xml message as well. It is the programmer's job to parse the xml message to get the useful message out.

XSL stands for XML Stylesheet Language. It is simiar to CSS for HTML. I do not quite sure how to use XSL but I have used XSLT before. XSLT is just a XSL Tranformation. XSLT is used to tranform XML message so that it can be displayed in any browser in the form you would like it to.
