As a W3C recommendation, XHTML 1.0 was released on January 20, 2000. XHTML 1.0 Second Edition
As a W3C recommendation, XHTML 1.0 Version 2 was released on August 1, 2002. It's not a new version, but an update and bug fix. About XHTML 1.0
XHTML 1.0 is the first major change to HTML since 1997, and it is also a very important step in the path to providing richer web pages to a wider range of user agents, including desktop computers, mobile devices, mobile phones, and more.
XHTML is an XML application that can be migrated smoothly from HTML 4.01. The first step in W3C refactoring HTML 4.01 into XML led to the birth of XHTML 1.0. XHTML 1.0 relies on the semantics provided by HTML 4.01 tags.
The next step is to modularize XHTML into a smaller collection of elements, making it easier to combine XHTML with other markup languages such as vector graphics and multimedia.
At the same time, the modularization of XHTML can also reduce development costs, improve collaboration with other applications (such as databases), easier to communicate with different user agents (browsers), and purer integration between HTML and different XML standards. W3C XHTML Activity XHTML 1.0
XHTML 1.0 is a re-representation of HTML 4.01 using XML.

Small devices (such as mobile phones) cannot support the full functionality of XHTML. XHTML 1.1 divides the specification into models with limited functionality. Small browsers can reduce complexity by supporting selected models (but once a model is selected, all its features must be supported).
XHTML 1.1 is a strict language. XHTML 1.1 is not backward compatible with HTML 4. XHTML Basics
XHTML Basic is a small subset of XHTML 1.1. It only contains basic XHTML features, such as text structure, images, basic sheets, and basic tables. It is designed for small browsers (such as in handheld devices). XHTML Events
It is precisely because of the support for W3C document object model level 2 in XHTML that the event processor can be attached to the XHTML element so that the parent element can handle events before or after the child element.

XHTML-Print is part of XHTML 1.1 (Modular XHTML).
XHTML-Print is designed for mobile devices and inexpensive printers that can often print a page from beginning to end without a print cache and a print driver customized for the device. XForms
Through the XHTML form, users can access a page, add information to the page, and submit the page to the web server.
XForms is the successor of HTML forms, providing a more complete and rendered, independent approach to transactions on web interactions. For this purpose, it is designed to be integrated with XHTML, we expect future e-commerce applications to require XForms.
To learn more about XForms, learn our XForms tutorial. XHTML Modular
XHTML modularity refers to dividing XHTML 1.0 into a collection of small models that provide specific functionality.
The modularization of XHTML 1.0 is achieved by using XML DTD (Document Type Definition).
The modularization of XHTML 2.0 is achieved by using XML Schemas.
To learn more about DTD, please learn our DTD tutorial.
To learn more about XML Schemas, learn our XML Schemas tutorial. XHTML 2.0
XHTML 2.0 is the next generation markup language. Its functionality is expected to be very similar to XHTML 1.1, but may be changed to comply with XML standards such as XML Linking and XML Schema. XLink
XLink is a language that creates hyperlinks in XML documents. XLink is similar to HTML links - but it is more powerfully supported by simple links (such as HTML) and extended links (used to link multiple resources together).
You can learn more about XLink in our XLink tutorial. HLink
HLink adds a capability to specify which element in XHTML represents a hyperlink and how to traverse the hyperlink.
HLink is an extension to XLink. W3C HTML specifications and timelines
