Any replacements to HTML

Are there any other languages that can create a full website from scratch other than HTML? If so, what are the benefits of using them over HTML?

I don't think there is, I am pretty sure it has to be structured by HTML and then you add the rest on like ASP or PHP.

Xhtml, its a lot more specific. I know that Nick Thompson know XHTML, and he is good at it

That is just an advance of HTML.

Yea, XHTML is just cleaner HTML, different standards than HTML, for example your tags must be nested correctly.

You could have a flash site, they are pretty hard to do though and I don't think there is actually coding involved.

In Flash, there is actionscript, which is almost certainly needed to create a fully functional website, however people recalling to my experience do not have Adobe Flash Player and have very slow internet so you lose vital visitors. Also in SEO terms, you are in the worst terms.

I didn't recommend it

I didn't explain it in its fullest terms then =-]

Flash websites rank poor in SERPS ....if you wish to make website but don't know any language then use CMS like Wordpress
Using it is as simple as 123....PHP can be used to make all your websites!!

You are confusing PHP and HTML. PHP is used to make your page dynamic, HTML is used to actually create the page. PHP can add text, and that is about it with visual things. Other than that, PHP adds more non-visual stuff behind your website. It can be used for all sorts of things, to get to know what it can fully do you have to actually dig into it and learn the code; but it cannot create a table on a page with images and colors and everything, for that, there is HTML.

Well there's always XML. XD
