XML and XHTML

[Jonas]

Which is the difference between XML and XHTML?
Does XHTML could be converted to another format as PDF? Or do I have
to use XML?

May I ask you a similar counter question? What is the difference between
an apple and fruit?

XHTML is an XML-based language, a vocabulary that uses XML syntax rules.

Does XHTML could be converted to another format as PDF?

Yes

XHTML is an XML application, like for instance MathML or SVG or XSLT or
XSL-FO too. Only XHTML is often served as text/html meaning it is not
processed by an XML parser but by the HTML tag soup parsers browsers have.

I questioned about that because I'm building a blog publishing system
where the blogger can choose the markup language to publish (XHTML 1.0
Strict, XHTML 1.1, etc). Then my idea is save the posts in two
different fields:

* One that can be converted to whatever markup language (XHTML 1.1,
XHTML 1.0, etc), or PDF, or print view.

* The another, where is stores his/her choosen markup language.

So I would to know, which markup language would be best to convert to
another markup formats or PDF?
