I wanted to learn HTML, not XHTML, aren't they different?

Hello Friends........

My question is that I am interested in learning HTML and not XHTML .To learn HTML it is necessary to learn XHTML?

Thanks

You will get all at w3schools.

If you haven't looked into the code yet, you will be surprised at how the two are extremely similar.

For example

Adding an image using HTML:

<img src="images/pic.jpg" >

XHTML

<img src="images/pic.jpg" />

The only difference in this example is the "/"

I think a good way to look at the difference is just that XHTML is a tad more strict. They both do exactly the same things, really have no difference, just xhtml helps provide a higher standard of html coding.

Here's w3's perspective: http://www.w3schools.com/XHTML/xhtml_html.asp
