Introduction
XHTML5 is an XML variant of HTML5.
With respect to HTML5 it differs in three ways:
- (True) XHTML5 must be served as XML, e.g. application/xhtml+xml or application/xml
- You may add your own XML languages (cannot be done with HTML5)
- Contents must be well-formed and (probably) valid.
As of March 2013, XHTML5 doesn't seem to be implemented, but I'd have to check this - Daniel K. Schneider (talk) 18:33, 8 March 2013 (CET)
Example
XHTML5 code may look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>XHTML5</title>
</head>
<body>
... is preparing its comeback and it may even become stronger than before
since after many many years IE explorer managed to implement XHTML 1...
</body>
</html>
- Notice the namespace declaration
