The GEO (Guidelines, Education and Outreach) Task Force of the Internationalization Working Group has published three First Public Working Drafts. The drafts cover Specifying the Language of Content, Characters and Encodings and Handling Bidirectional Text. Designed for content authors, the documents are aids to ensuring that HTML and XHTML are written for an international audience

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) exploded into the savvy computer user and developer's consciousness around 1994. Although it had been around before that, this was roughly the tipping point when HTML went from obscure scientific curiosity to the point where you could pick up a mainstream computer magazine or go to a bookstore and be assaulted by an overwhelming number of articles and books about HTML. Over the next several years, the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) codified several new versions of HTML, driven by the leaps in technology from the Mosaic, then Netscape and Internet Explorer web browsers.

The noframes tag is used to display an alternative message on browsers that do not recognize frames.

This version of XHTML provides a definition of strictly conforming XHTML 1.0 documents, which are restricted to elements and attributes from the XML and XHTML 1.0 namespaces. See Section 3.1.2 for information on using XHTML with other namespaces, for instance, to include metadata expressed in RDF within XHTML documents.

This section describes the five basic classes of elements.

By now we all know what HTML is. The collection of tags was made famous by the Web, or was it the other way around? Tim Berners-Lee is credited with inventing HTML and the Web, but they were not completely original inventions, as the ideas of hypertext and metatags abounded in Gopher and document-management systems that were based on SGML (Standardized General Markup Language).

The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) issued an updated and corrected edition of its specification for XHTML 1.0, earlier this month, a hybrid technology that incorporates and unifies HTML and XML technologies. Now that it's practically final, the W3C is obviously very high on XHTML 1.0, calling it “The next step in the evolution of the Internet is here,”.

In writing an XHTML document, you must include an announcement of the XHTML namespace immediately after the XHTML DTD declaration. The namespace definition basically imports a complete set of HTML-like tags for you to use in applying formatting and other design rules to your documents. In XHTML, the namespace declaration appears as an attribute of the tag that opens the document, like this:

“The next step in the evolution of the Internet is here,” stated the W3C, last week. The W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) also issued an updated and corrected edition of its specification for XHTML 1.0, a hybrid technology that incorporates and unifies HTML and XML technologies.
