XHTML Basic

XHTML Basic is an XML-based structured markup language primarily used for simple (mainly handheld) user agents, typically mobile devices.

Comparisons

XHTML Basic is a subset of XHTML 1.1, defined using XHTML Modularization including a reduced set of modules for document structure, images, forms, basic tables, and object support. XHTML Basic is suitable for mobile phones, PDAs, pagers, and settop boxes.

It will replace WML and C-HTML as more compliant user agents are developed.

One large advantage XHTML Basic has over WML and C-HTML is that XHTML Basic pages can be rendered differently in web browsers and on handhelds, without the need for two different versions of the same page.

In 2006, the specification was revised to version 1.1. Six new features have been incorporated into the language in order to better serve the small-device community.

DOCTYPE

To validate as XHTML Basic, a document must contain the following Document Type Declaration, or DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic11.dtd">

A complete valid and well-formed example is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.1//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Hello</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Hello <a href="http://example.org/">world</a>.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Served with a MIME type of "application/xhtml+xml".

XHTML-Print

XHTML-Print, which became a W3C Recommendation in September 2006, is a specialized version of XHTML Basic designed for documents printed from information appliances to low-end printers.[1]

gollark: Old phones have built-in long-duration battery backups, very low power draw, integrated screens for status monitoring, processors generally as good as or better as Raspberry Pis, and decently fast cellular modems.
gollark: I don't see why you would need *two* UPSes for two things.
gollark: Why spend money on expensive UPSes when you could run your servers on old phones?
gollark: My important stuff is replicated to my laptop, which is *relatively* portable.
gollark: USB sticks are quite easy to lose, and not hugely reliable.
