Exploring the XHTML Basic DTD

XHTML Basic is, as noted earlier, a host language implementation of XHTML Modularization. In Chapter 16, "Combining Custom Modules with XHTML," we defined a host language as a document type built using, at a minimum, the four required XHTML modules: the Structure Module, Text Module, Hypertext Module, and List Module. Table 17.1 lists the elements included in these modules.
