XHTML has a more strict syntax rules in comparison of HTML (hypertext markup language). XHTML gives you a more consistent, well-structured format so that site webpages can be easily parsed and processed by present and future web browsers. It also makes website easier to maintain, edit etc.

XHTML is, in fact, the follow-on version of HTML 4. You could think of it as HTML 5, except that it is called XHTML 1.0. In XHTML, all HTML 4 markup elements and attributes (the language of HTML) will continue to be supported. Unlike HTML, however, XHTML can be extended by anyone that uses it.

[jonathantrott46]

XHTML is, actually, the follow-on version of HTML 4. You could think of it as HTML 5, except that it is known as XHTML 1.0. In XHTML, all HTML 4 markup elements and functions (the language of HTML) will keep be strengthened. In contrast to HTML, however, XHTML can be extended by anyone that uses it. New elements and functions can be described and involved to those that already are available, developing possible new techniques to consist of content and growth in a Web page. In overall look, an XHTML pc computer file looks like a somewhat more complex HTML pc computer file.

[anirban09P]

XHTML (Extensible HyperText Markup Language) is a family of XML markup languages that mirror or extend versions of the widely used Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the language in which Web pages are written.

While HTML (prior to HTML5) was defined as an application of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a very flexible markup language framework, XHTML is an application of XML, a more restrictive subset of SGML. Because XHTML documents need to be well-formed, they can be parsed using standard XML parsers, unlike HTML, which requires a lenient HTML-specific parser.

[sanjay1]

XHTML is a markup language written in XML; therefore, it is an XML application.

[jane18]

By combining the strengths of HTML and XML, XHTML was developed. It is new language for developing webpages and browsers to support big devices as PCs and small devices like cell phones or tabs.

[sophiapana]

XHTML is a stricter form of HTML and as such is a subset of XML which is an extremely useful, powerful and very strict way of marking up pure data.

[paulbrighton]

XHTML is in many ways similar to HTML, but is designed to work with the new eXtensible Markup Language, or XML, that will soon serve as the core language for designing all sorts of new Web applications, in which XHTML will be only one of many "languages."

[vipshush]

if you find a need for a new markup tag, you simply define it in an XHTML module and use it in your page as you would any other HTML tag. You can also use XHTML to markup the code as appropriate for the (XHTML compatible) browser that is viewing it.

XHTML 1.0 became a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation on January 26, 2000. XHTML 1.1 became a W3C Recommendation on May 31, 2001. The standard known as XHTML5 is being developed as an XML adaptation of the HTML5 specification.

SOURCE: www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-HTML-and-XHTML

xHTML is the XML version of HTML.

To understand this answer you have to know what XML is : it's a markup language designed to format data in a way that's easy to understand for a human, and also easy to parse for a machine.

XML is also a meta-language. This means that a lot of languages are based on XML, with rules and grammar defined to make a language with specific purpose from XML. Some well-known examples are OpenMath, MML, XPath, XQuery, ...

Now at the beginning of the web, the markup language that was used for web pages was HTML. It looks a lot like XML but it's not an XML language because it does not respect the XML standard.

Later, xHTML was invented with respect to the XML standard. It is more strict than html because you have to respect all the xml rules (Closing tag for each opening tag, attributes have to have a value etc.)

So the short answer is : xHTML is XML, HTML is not.
