If you want to begin preparation for using and viewing XML
(extensible markup language) <http://www.xml.com/pub/98/10/guide0.html>,
XHTML (extensible hypertext markup language)
<http://www.wdvl.com/Authoring/Languages/XML/XHTML/>, and other
emerging languages, then be wise and follow these basic rules:

1. Create well-formed documents (no sloppy coding, no illegal nesting
of tags, symmetrical forming of beginning and ending tags)
2. Element and attribute names must be in lowercase
3. All attributes must be quoted
4. End tags are required in non-empty elements (close any elements
that contain data: ie, </p>)
