HTML and XHTML are both languages in which web pages are written. HTML is SGML -based while XHTML is XML -based. They are like two sides of the same coin. XHTML was derived from HTML to conform to XML standards. Hence XHTML is strict when compared to HTML and does not allow user to get away with lapses in coding and structure. The reason for XHTML to be developed was convoluted browser specific tags. Pages coded in HTML appeared different in different browsers.
