.xml at end of file

[mar0606]

I have installed the 60 day trial of Microsoft 2003 Office. In the Word appllication I have the option of ending filenames with .xml

I assume .xml is the same as .html

If this is not the same please email jul905@lycos.com

I am studying Web Page design for Dummies book 7th editiion. It asks to always save html in files ending .html in word. But this version I have only has .xml and I think I am getting into difficulties.

By the way do you usually communicate with each other in Netscape Instant messenger? This is my first message on webdeveloper!

XML is not the same as HTML. XHTML is HTML rewritten as a subset of XML.

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language so that you can define your own tags to mean what you want them to mean. HTML and XHTML have a predefined set of tags. You can convert XML into XHTML using XSLT or CSS (depending on how complicated the required conversion is).
