Comparison of layout engines (XHTML)
| HTML |
|---|
| Comparisons |
The following tables compare XHTML compatibility and support for a number of browser engines.
Only XHTML 1.1 is considered. XHTML 1.1 is necessarily XHTML 1.0 Strict with more elements and attributes deprecated. XHTML 2.0 was a working draft with no browser engine support, but work on it was abandoned[1] in 2009 in favor of work on HTML5 and XHTML5. XHTML 1.0 and HTML 4 (both served with text/html) are covered in comparison of browser engines (HTML support). The comparison of XML capabilities are covered in comparison of layout engines (XML).
Explanation of tables[edit]
See comparison of browser engines for the full list.
Values[edit]
These indicate the level of support for the given item in each engine. By default, the most recent version of the engine is implied. However, a specific version number can be listed; when this indicates full support, it's the initial version of the engine fully supporting the item.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Yes | Fully supported |
| No | Has never been supported |
| Partial | Only some values are supported |
| Incorrect | Not implemented correctly in all cases |
| Experimental | May be incomplete or buggy |
| Nightly build | Currently in development; full support is expected |
| Depends | Only supported for the specified conditions |
| Dropped | No longer supported |
Media types[edit]
The responses when a well-formatted XHTML document is served with different media types. Note that only application/xhtml+xml is the recommended media type.

KHTML media type notes[edit]
application/xhtml+xml— KHTML supports this media type, but processes the document as HTML.application/xml, text/xml— HTML entities and custom entities defined by custom DTD are not recognized.
Combined profiles[edit]
