Alright team,

I'm a newbie and here is my first question:


In HTML if you put in <b> then every browser worldwide knows that you want to use bold text.

I'n XML if you put in <firstname>Ben</firstname> how can a browser interpret this any different if I wanted to use <1stname>Ben</1stname> or <name1>Ben</name1>

Sorry if this sounds like a daft question but I have my Dummies book out and I'm just trying to work it through.

Is there a set list of recognised XML tags, just like there is for HTML?

All the best,

Ben
