HTML:
Not case sensitive.
Not necessary to close the tags in the order they are opened.
All content can be included in the body element.
It requires a lenient HTML-specific parser.
Filename extensions are: .html, .htm
XHTML:
XHTML is case-sensitive. Every tag and attribute should be in lower case.
It is necessary to close the tags in the order they are opened.
All contents must be put in blocks.
Parsing is done with a standard XML parser.
Filename extensions are: .xhtml, .xht, .xml, .html, .htm
