Much of this stability stems from the fact that the 288*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerlanguage is both feature-rich and flexible. This flexibility, 289*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerhowever, comes at a price, and that price is a level of 290*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workercomplexity that has inhibited its adoption in a diversity of 291*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerenvironments, including the World Wide Web.</p> 292*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 293*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker<p>HTML, as originally conceived, was to be a language for the 294*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerexchange of scientific and other technical documents, suitable 295*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerfor use by non-document specialists. HTML addressed the problem 296*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerof SGML complexity by specifying a small set of structural and 297*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workersemantic tags suitable for authoring relatively simple documents. 298*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerIn addition to simplifying the document structure, HTML added 299*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workersupport for hypertext.

This occurs because in HTML 4.0 some elements were 1265*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerpermitted to be minimized such that their start and end tags are both omitted 1266*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker(an SGML feature). 1267*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerThis is not possible in XML. Rather than require document authors to insert 1268*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerextraneous elements, XHTML has made the elements optional. 1269*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerApplications need to adapt to this 1270*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workeraccordingly.</li> 1271*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker</ol> 1272*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker 1273*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker<h2>C.12 Using Ampersands in Attribute Values</h2> 1274*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker<p> 1275*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard WorkerWhen an attribute value contains an ampersand, it must be expressed as a character 1276*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Workerentity reference 1277*7c568831SAndroid Build Coastguard Worker(e.g. "<code>&amp;</code>").
