XML Document Syntax
Now let’s look at some of the particulars of XML syntax using this simple XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE accounts SYSTEM "simple.dtd"> <accounts> <customer> <name> <firstname>Bobby</firstname> <lastname>Five</lastname> </name> <accountNumber>4456</accountNumber> <balance>111.32</balance> </customer> <!-- more customers will be added soon --> <?php print date ('Fj,Y') ?> </accounts>
Tip
Because XHTML is an XML application, all of the following syntax conventions apply to web documents written in XHTML.
