Compact HTML, or cHTML, is a subset of HTML 2.0, HTML 3.2, and HTML 4.0, and is designed to render on devices with limited memory and CPU power, along with small display screens, limited formatting capabilities, and a limited number of input options (such as a cell phone touch pad). Therefore, cHTML does not support the following:
JPEG images.
Tables.
Image maps.
Multiple character fonts and styles.
Background colors and images.
Frames.
Style sheets.
The System.Web.UI.ChtmlTextWriter class derives from the System.Web.UI.Html32TextWriter class and much of its functionality is provided by the System.Web.UI.Html32TextWriter and the base class for all markup text writers, which is the System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter class.
