There's really not much to XHTML. Just use all lowercase letters for
the elements and attributes, close all tags, don't use any short-form
attributes, and use quotation marks around all attributes values. I
always use the Strict DTD, but you may use the Transitional DTD if you
use deprecated elements. This is how I start every web page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US"
lang="en-US">


The W3C Recommendation:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/


Have fun!
