   a HTML document into an XHTML document?</div>
  <div style="background-color: #ffeeff; 
   padding: 4px 4px 4px 20px;">

   are closed. XML documents requires that all elements
   must be closed with closing tags or with the extra "/" 
   at the end of the opening tag.</div>
  </div>
  </div>
 </body>
</html>
