XHTML 1.1 is the latest markup syntax recommended by W3C. XHTML 1.1 is ideal for authoring content because it is an XML language, separates content from formatting, and can be used in both HTML 4.x and XHTML 1.x Web pages. In XHTML 1.1, the font element is gone and the style attribute is deprecated. Formatting can only be achieved by using CSS that are referenced through the class attribute. For example: <span class="person">John Smith</span>
XStandard is an IE/Firefox/Opera/Safari plug-in designed to be integrated into browser- or desktop-based content management systems. It creates a WYSIWYG editing area used by business authors to manage rich content in any language. XStandard is the first commercially available WYSIWYG editor that generates clean XHTML 1.1 code without any deprecated markup and without running code clean-up routines.

This page was created using the Xstandard Editor and varies from their example document only in that it includes this line.
