		<title>Introduction &#8211; Getting started</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where do we start? Well, if we follow the advice of our wise old ancestors, we should “start at the beginning.” This book starts somewhere in the middle. The middle may be a good place to start if you know what went before and understand the direction you want to head. Because you picked up [...]]]></description>

		<title>The story of the Web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The world has come a long way from CERN. The Web as Tim Berners-Lee conceived it is hardly recognizable in its reach today. It is no longer a minor network of communication among scientific communities located in a single building or a few buildings across the square. It is a complex, international, cross-platform, cross-language, cross-cultural [...]]]></description>

		<title>HTML frustrations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frustration is the genesis of innovation in web design. The language of the web started out as simple HTML. It is an acronym for hypertext markup language. Tim Berners-Lee used that language in his CERN. He had a very limited requirement. He wanted a technology and a program that would help him interpret HTML and [...]]]></description>

		<title>XHTML code generation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unless otherwise stated, the code snippets, blocks, or programs in this book use XHTML 1.1—not HTML. XHTML 1.1 is very similar to XHTML 1.0 Strict, and both XHTML 1.0 or 1.1 are somewhat similar to HTML 4.01 Strict. However, XHTML has some major differences from HTML 4.01 Strict.]]></description>

		<title>XHTML syntax</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three major differences exist between HTML and XHTML: 1)      XHTML requires lowercase names in markup tags for all elements and attributes, such as &#60;body&#62;. Using an uppercase or mixed-case name, such as &#60;BODY&#62; or &#60;BoDy&#62;, (which are perfectly acceptable for HTML 4.01) will trigger a syntax error when verifying any XHTML code with the W3C [...]]]></description>

		<title>W3C validators</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After generating the XHTML / CSS code, you could verify whether or not if its syntax is valid by using validators. W3C has some free validators available for use online at its website or on a number of mirror websites hosting the validators. You could even install validators on your own system. Three W3C validators: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cascading style sheets to the rescue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cascading style sheets were a welcome relief to the web designers who were frustrated by the control over design provided by HTML. The style sheets for the first time allowed the designer to apply typographical styles and spacing instructions for elements on the page. The term cascading refers to a situation where several sources of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#60;style&#62; @import url(http://pathname/stylesheet.css); &#60;/style&#62; Note: All @import statements must occur at the start of a style sheet. Any rules specified in a style sheet will override conflicting rules in an imported style sheet. In the event of conflicting rules in two or more imported @import statements, any conflicting rule in last @import statement listing the [...]]]></description>
