XHTML 1.1 Quick Reference by examples

+ + +

This page offers a quick reference by examples of all the elements specified by the XHTML 1.1 W3C standard.

+ +

This version of XHTML groups the elements by module, and this is how they are presented here, +with a very brief description and a section of examples of use.

+ +

There are already other quick reference pages, like the one on xhtml.com, or this one or this other one with examples. But this page wants to be a single-page brief reference; here it is not explained which attributes an element supports, but that can be seen reading the source code of the examples provided for each element. This page could be used as a summary about XHTML or as a precious tool to design complete (wrt. XHTML elements) CSS stylesheets for your XHTML pages, giving a quick glance at the results.

+ +

Modules

+ +

The elements, attributes, and minimal content models associated with +these modules are defined in the XHTML + Modularization document [XHTMLMOD]). +The elements are listed here for information purposes, but the definitions in +[XHTMLMOD] +should be considered definitive. +In this document, the module names in the list below link into the +definitions of +the modules within the current version of [XHTMLMOD].

Examples

+ +

Structure Module

+ + We don't show explicit examples for elements in the + Structure module because they are Singleton elements, already used for the + structure of this very page. Although you can style the body + and html + elements. + +

Text module

+ +The Text module elements can be used inside a text to enrich it semantically. +They are all style-able. + +
+
abbr
+
+ We all know what XHTML + means, don't we? +
+ +
acronym
+
+ On the contrary someone doesn't know RADAR is + an acronym. +
+ +
address
+
+ Antonio is from +
Naples, Italy
+ a strange, still beautiful, city. +
+ +
blockquote
+
+ I usually say: +
Better looser than poser!
+ Not very widespread these days. +
+ +
br
+
Break the line here
this is new line
+ +
cite
+
Even if you are not Buddhist follow the Dalai Lama + suggestions.
+ +
code
+
Format source code using the <code></code> + element.
+ +
dfn
+
I wonder how much my silly definition of happiness: + + Happiness is the limit of our mood function when “how I currently feel” approaches + to “how I want to feel” + + is flawed... +
+ +
div
+
+ DIVs are used to
divide
block elements. +
+ +

+ +
h1
+
+ This could be for

Book

titles. +
+ +
h2
+
+ This could be for

Chapter

titles. +
+ +
h3
+

Section

titles. +
+ +

titles. +
+ +

Sub-Sub-Section
titles. +

titles. +

+ +
+ +

Hypertext module

+ +
+
a
+
+ Is this xhtml: GOTO 0;?
+ Is this more accessible: IF KEY == 'g'; THEN GOTO 0; ENDIF;? (Psst, use + Alt-Shift-g to test it in FireFox)
+ It is XHTML + indeed. +
+
+ +

List module
