Well, I red some articles about XML but I really didn't get what is all about. When should a web publisher or developer use xml? What can I do with XML? What are the advantages in relation with HTML? What kind of web sites should I use XML?<!--content-->Read more about XML here:<br />

<br />
XML will give a designer much more control and the ability to create their own tags and use dynamic content more easily. The down side is that it is not as easy to pick-up on as plain old HTML code but if you already know HTML, XML shouldn't be difficult to learn. <br />

<br />
HTML handles presentation, teh rendering of the page. XML is used to describe data. Where XML and HTML come together through styling based on xml tagging either with a conventional css style sheet referencing the xml tags, or through xsl generated styles into the html.<br />

<br />
I don't understand this! What that means "ability to create own tags"?<!--content-->It means exactly what it says. In Xhtml browsers you will be able to define the data with any tags you want and and be able to apply formatting behaviours to it with styles in the page.<br />
<br />
On the server side the xml tagging will be used to form the queries to the database, so that many elements that are now in server side scripting will be able to reside in the html page itself. XML encoded elements in the page get replaced by the dynamic data returned to the query at load time, in mush the same way that some ASP code in pages is executed to return data at load time.<br />
