You can enhance your storefront using custom XHTML to add more design and visual elements to your storefront. This addition also allows you to add links to other Web sites. Quick Shopping Cart reads XHTML 1.0 strict code and renders it on the appropriate page.

For more information about XHTML, visit the XHTML Tutorial on the W3 Schools Web site.

Web pages associated with the Storefront, such as the Welcome, About Us, and Contact Us pages, are the most likely pages on which to use XHTML for the content of the page. You can also apply XHTML to the Terms and Conditions page and product descriptions in the Product Editor page.

NOTE: If you use HTML in a text area, be careful not to also try to use a greater than (>) or less than (<)sign in the text surrounded by HTML tags. Within HTML, the greater/less than signs are interpreted as code and do not display properly. Instead, use "&gt;" for > and "&lt;" for <.

For assistance making sure your HTML code is XHTML-compliant, see Verifying Custom HTML Using the HTML Validator Tool.
