• An XHTML report is considered a web page which can be
accessed through any browser you use to browse websites
• XHTML gives the report additional abilitiessuch as the
automaticextraction of importantdata and figures as well as the
tagging with XBRL

such as text, fonts, and graphics, as the report in PDF format,
and this can only be achieved using specialized software
