just a beginner Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I'm researching XML for a class project. There are a few terms that I keep running into that I'm not able to understand. Could someone explain what "xpath" is? Also, how does SGML and HTML interact with XML? Thank you for your help!
birbal Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 xpath used to select any node from a xml document using some notation. http//w3schools.com/xpath i am not sure what do you mean by interacting with html and sgml with xml. sgml is a mark up language based upon xml which used to render graphics in webpages.xhtml,sgml is derivative of xml.xhtml and html is quite same but xhtml is stricter than html. HTML,XHTML both are used to render a page.
Ingolme Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 SGML and XML are rulesets as to how information should be stored. SGML is older than XML. XML is cleaner version of SGML designed to be easier to parse. HTML is a subset of SGML, while XHTML is a subset of XML.
