Appendix C. Complete XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2 Quick Reference

XHTML 1.1 represents a modern reformulation of HTML as an XML application, allowing extensions to the language to be more easily defined and implemented. This appendix provides a quick reference to all the elements and attributes of XHTML 1.1, as well as the style properties that CSS 2 comprises.

To make the information readily accessible, this appendix organizes HTML elements by their function in the following order:

  • Structure

  • Text phrases and paragraphs

  • Text formatting elements

  • Lists

  • Links

  • Tables

  • Frames

  • Embedded content

  • Style

  • Forms

  • Scripts

The elements are listed alphabetically within each section, and the following information is presented:

  • Usage Gives a general description of the element.

  • Start/End Tag Indicates whether these tags are required, optional, or illegal.

  • Attributes Lists the attributes of the element with a short description of their effect.

  • Empty Indicates whether the element can be empty.

  • Notes Relates any special considerations for using the element.

The CSS style properties follow a similar arrangement except that they are listed with acceptable values, as opposed to attributes.

By the Way

XHTML 1.1 includes several fundamental attributes that apply to a significant number of elements. These are referred to within each element listing as core, i18n, and events. These attribute groups are covered in detail after all the XHTML elements are presented. There you'll find the specific attributes associated with each of these attribute groups.
