HTML
The initial version of HTML was simple and there was no strict syntax rules .i.e. an HTML tag name
can have a small letter or a capital letter. Even, it was not mandatory to close the HTML tag. 

HTML Page Structure

A simple HTML page is given below, where we have used P tag as capital.

1. <html>
2. <head>
3. <title>Html document</title>
4. </head>
5. <body>
6. <P>Your first HTML page</P>
7. </body>
8. </html>

XHTML
XHTML maintenance is easier as compared to HTML because XHTML is based upon XML and
XML syntax rules are strict as compared to HTML. Some of the rules are:

Names of elements and attributes should be in lower case.


All attribute values must be within quotation marks.
Elements which are not empty must end with a closing tag.
Elements which are empty should end with space and a slash.
