Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML by Freeman

Why would you want to learn XHTML?

What a stupidly patronising comment.

Firstly, the OP is presumably a learner (hence their question) so why do
you think they want to learn XHTML ?

Secondly, what's _wrong_ with learning XHTML ? And why do you consider
it acceptable to criticise their question without even illuminating the
answer?

HTML 4.01 (STRICT) is the way to go.

Maybe. But only if you already have the quite significant level of XHTML
understanding necessary to understand why.
