To XML, or to HTML?

     In the previous post, we have introduce you fine people to HTML. Now let's take a peek into XML. Before we begun, many people getting confused between HTML and XML. Well, for starters both of them are markup languages. What I can say is that HTML and XML is quite different but XML act as a compliment to HTML.

     Now, let's take a closer look into it, shall we? Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all free open standards.

    Now, after you've read a bit, you'll know that XML can only create plain text rather than HTML that can make anything that can be displayed in a webpage. Yet, if you want to make dynamic data, using HTML will take lots of time to edit, while XML is much more simpler. Thus, it is not exaggerating to say that XML and HTML is of equal value.

What is that? You want to learn how to XML? Very good. Here's a table of link and title of the tutorials.
