_StorageFormatNote
We refer to the Confluence storage format as "XHTML-based." Technically, it's XML, since the storage format doesn't fully comply with the XHTML definition. For example, Confluence includes custom elements for macros and other features. We use the term "XHTML-based" to highlight that much of the storage format is similar to HTML.
