What is the relationship between SGML,HTML , XML and XHTML?

SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is a standard that indicates how to specify document markup.

It is just a Meta language that describes how marking should be documented.

HTML is a markup language that is described using SGML.

You will always find the attribute “DOCTYPE” at the top of the HTML page that defines which DTD (document type definition) is used for analysis purposes.
