What Is XHTML?

 

    XHTML stands for EXtensible HyperText Markup Language

    XHTML is almost identical to HTML 4.01

    XHTML is a stricter and cleaner version of HTML 4.01

    XHTML is HTML defined as an XML application

    XHTML is supported by all major browsers.

 

Why XHTML?

 

Many pages on the internet contain "bad" HTML.

 

The following HTML code will work fine if you view it in a browser (even if it does NOT follow the HTML rules):

<html>
<head>
<title>This is bad HTML</title>
<body>
<h1>Bad HTML
<p>This is a paragraph
</body>

 

XML is a markup language where documents must be marked up correctly and "well-formed".

 

The Most Important Differences from HTML

 

Document Structure

    XHTML DOCTYPE is mandatory
    The XML namespace attribute in <html> is mandatory
    <html>, <head>, <title>, and <body> is mandatory

XHTML Elements

    XHTML elements must be properly nested
    XHTML elements must always be closed
    XHTML elements must be in lowercase
    XHTML documents must have one root element

XHTML Attributes

    Attribute names must be in lower case
    Attribute values must be quoted
    Attribute minimization is forbidden

<!DOCTYPE ....> Is Mandatory

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//MrHF//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.mrhf.com/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.mrhotfire.com/2012/xhtml">

<head>
<title>Title of document</title>
</head>

<body>
......
</body>

</html>

 

XHTML Elements Must Be Properly Nested

 

<b><i>This text is [b]bold[/b] and [i]italic[/i]</b></i>



XHTML Elements Must Always Be Closed
This is wrong:
<p>This is a paragraph
<p>This is another paragraph

This is correct:

<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<p>This is another paragraph</p>

 

Empty Elements Must Also Be Closed

This is wrong:

A break: <br>
A horizontal rule: <hr>
An image: <img src="happy.gif" alt="Happy face">

This is correct:

A break: <br />
A horizontal rule: <hr />
An image: <img src="happy.gif" alt="Happy face" />

XHTML Elements Must Be In Lower Case

This is wrong:

<BODY>
<P>This is a paragraph</P>
</BODY>

This is correct:

<body>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
</body>

Attribute Names Must Be In Lower Case

This is wrong:

<table WIDTH="100%">

This is correct:

<table width="100%">

Attribute Minimization Is Forbidden

This is wrong:

<input checked>
<input readonly>
<input disabled>
<option selected>

This is correct:

<input checked="checked">
<input readonly="readonly">
<input disabled="disabled">
<option selected="selected">

 

How to Convert from HTML to XHTML

    Add an XHTML <!DOCTYPE> to the first line of every page
    Add an xmlns attribute to the html element of every page
    Change all element names to lowercase
    Close all empty elements
    Change all attribute names to lowercase
    Quote all attribute values

    • If it is AI-generated, you used a really shit model. Even AI wouldn't be able to generate obvious errors like the badge misalignment.   I do find it funny, however, that out of everyone to accuse you, Splicho, who used AI to fully generate this https://nimeracp.com/, is the one to talk.
    • You’re free to dislike the design, that’s subjective and totally fine. But calling everything you personally don’t like “AI generated” is not really an argument 😄 The funny part is that the layout constraints you’re criticizing are actually intentional design decisions for toplist platforms — ads, rankings, visibility blocks, sponsor placements, and high information density. This isn’t a portfolio landing page or a SaaS dashboard where you can leave half the screen empty for aesthetics. Also, AI-generated UIs usually look generic, over-animated, inconsistent, and impractical for real long-term usage. Our platform has been evolving for years based on actual user behavior, server owner needs, CTR optimization, and functionality requirements. You may not like the visual style, and that’s okay. But confusing “I don’t like this design” with “this was made by AI” just shows you’re judging emotionally instead of technically. Anyway, appreciate the feedback. Good luck to you too 🙂
    • You don't get it what I am trying to say. Your UI is simply ai generated, entirely. The current theme what you are using. I am not talking about the backend. It's just my personal preference/opinion that I think your UI looks really bad because it's AI generated and whoever worked on it didn't give a single fuck about how it looks, or at least take the time to rework the UI that AI generated yourself.   AI is just bad with design and your website is a proof of concept once again. But how would someone know what looks good and what does not look good if one doesn't have the design skills or knowledge.   Whatever, good luck with your site.
    • Of course AI can generate Bootstrap now, but back in 2021 nobody was building sites with Codex like today 😄 And yes, the site looks different because we kept updating the UI over the years — colors, cards, spacing, dark mode, mobile tweaks, animations, badges, and layout refinements. That’s called maintenance and redesign iterations, not rebuilding the whole backend from scratch. The core architecture is still the same Bootstrap-based structure we’ve used for years because toplist websites need specific blocks and banner placements to work properly. You can literally compare both screenshots and see the evolution. One is the older 2021 version, the other is the current polished version after years of manual improvements. No AI magic involved, just hand-coded work and years of updates 🙂 And honestly, if someone thinks every Bootstrap website is AI-generated now, then half the internet was apparently built by ChatGPT before ChatGPT even existed 😂
    • Hello,   I am looking for clean patch for patch Classic 3.5 Tales Untold NA P 286. Thanks in advance!
