Where ever you read that (or possibly you misread it) is incorrect. XHTML is not complicated. It just takes a bit of retraining some old habits (and adjusting your HTML editor if you are relying on it to produce coding).
HTML is the coding language used to produce web pages. HTML 4.01 was the last version of the HTML standard produced. HTML 5.0 is being worked on.
XHTML is also a coding language used to produce web pages. It is very similar to HTML in it's basic form.
HTML 4.01 forms part of XHTML.
There are differences between HTML and XHTML, one of them being that some tags (the meta tag for example) require a / at the end of the tag when coding in XHTML.
