| Description | XHTML is a markup language that is similar to HTML in syntax, but is stricter in its rules for writing code. It combines the best of both HTML and XML to create a language that is both human-readable and machine-readable. XHTML documents must be well-formed, meaning that they adhere to a specific set of rules for formatting, including using proper tags and attributes, closing all tags, and using lowercase for all element and attribute names. One of the main benefits of using XHTML is that it ensures greater accessibility and compatibility across different platforms and devices, as well as improved search engine optimization. This is because XHTML code is easier for search engines to crawl and index, and it also provides a more consistent user experience across different devices. To create an XHTML document, you can use any text editor or web development tool that supports XHTML syntax. You can also use a validator tool to check your code for errors and ensure that it is well-formed. Overall, using XHTML can help you create more robust and reliable web pages that are compatible with modern web technologies and accessible to a wider audience. |

XHTML files are web pages written as valid XML — a stricter, more structured form of HTML used by web standards-conscious developers, W3C documentation, early 2000s websites, and publishing workflows. Most PDF tools either skip XHTML files or treat them as raw XML text. This converter parses XHTML correctly, applies its linked stylesheets, and renders the formatted page as a PDF. Drop your .xhtml file and get a properly formatted PDF in seconds, no browser or print dialog required.
XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) is HTML 4.01 reformulated as valid XML, standardized by the W3C in 2000 (XHTML 1.0) and 2001 (XHTML 1.1). Unlike HTML, XHTML requires well-formed XML syntax: all tags must be closed, attributes must be quoted, tag names must be lowercase, and empty elements need self-closing syntax (<br /> instead of <br>). XHTML files use the .xhtml or .xht extension and the MIME type application/xhtml+xml.
