Using Plain HTML (xhtml)

9.1. Purpose

Provide an escape to use raw HTML within XML. Note that DTD-checking is switched off when this escape is used in your document

Using <xhtml> implies that you must use formal HTML, i.e. as defined in the W3C XHTML 1.0: The Extensible HyperText Markup Language where HTML is specified as XML. This goes especially for elements like <br> and <hr> that must be specified as respectively <br/> and <hr/> in XHTML.

587: 
588:    <xhtml>
589:   <i>Here you see the use of the &lt;xhtml&gt; tag. This
590:   allows an "escape" into raw HTML, provided you follow the 
591:   XHTML syntax, i.e. closing all elements. This means for example using
592:   &lt;br/&gt; i..s.o.  &lt;br&gt;.</i>. 
593:   <p>
594:   xhtml-content will be included as-is
595:   within the generated document.

601:   <p>
602:   And a ruler
603:   </p>
604:   <hr/>
