    I am confused about the variations of HTML

    Well I know that XHTML is a conventional coding that is HTML itself but with some standard formatting.

    What are these:

    DHTML
    SHTML
    XML



    Please reply,

    Others may offer clearer and better responses to your questions, but I wanted to offer the following "tid-bits":

    The current W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) recommended HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) "flavors" are:

    HTML 4.01
    XHTML 1.0 (second edition) (X=extensible)
    XHTML 1.1
    XHTML Basic
    XHTML+RDFa

    The only true International standard is ISO-HTML -- actually a sub-set of W3C HTML 4.01.

    Unfortunately, at present XHTML cannot be practically used as intended -- served as Content (MIME) Type application/xhtml+xml -- and instead is mostly served as HTML, that is, Content (MIME) Type text/html. Refer to http://jp29.org/test.php for an explanation.

    DHTML & SHTML are HTML variations/adaptations not supported by any standard.

    Wikipedia -- DHTML
    Description of SHTML

    XML (Extensible Markup Language) is not a Hyper Text Markup language.
    Wikipedia -- XML
