a method to identify specific structures in a document)
a method used to distinguish equivalent units of text as words, sentences or paragraphs, also of indicating structural features such as headings quotations, spacing, punctuation, indentation etc
a method used to identify the structure of documents
a series of predefined codes or tags that are used to define the structural elements of a document
a set of data descriptions, known as tags, and rules that simplify and enhance the process of data interchange between unlike computer systems

a way to format simple text to for different types of publishing from printing to the World Wide Web
a way to give guidelines (in this case, to a computer) for adding markup to a text document using special symbols
A formal way of annotating a document or collection of digital data in order to indicate the structure of the document or datafile and the contents of its data elements. This markup also serves to provide a computer with information about how to process and display marked-up documents.
A language that uses symbols or tags to describe what a document should look like when displayed.
A collection of tags or codes that tells computers what to do with the text within the tags. These markup languages used to be popular but were supplanted by WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editors. Markup languages are now regaining popularity because of their famous sibling, the HyperText Markup Language. See Part I.
A markup language is used to structure a document's character data into logical components, and "name" them in a manner that is useful. These labels (element names) provide either formatting information about how the character data should be visually presented (for a word processor or a web browser, for instance) or they can provide "semantic" (meaningful) information about what kind of data the component represents. Markup languages provide a simple format for exchanging text-based character data that can be understood by both humans and machines.
A page description language that you use to "markup" text elements in an input file for processing by a document processor. SDML is the markup language used by DECdocument.
A kind of computer language that is used to modify the way text looks rather than make the computer perform some other function.
A markup language is a syntax and/or set of rules to manage content and structure of a document or object (for example, HTML , SVG , or MathML).
A syntax or set of rules for computer-understandable information. For example, HTML and CSS are markup languages to add semantic and presentation information to text files.
Combines text and extra information like structure or presentation about the text. The best-known markup language in modern use is HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
a way of depicting the logical structure or semantics of a document and providing instructions to computers on how to handle or display the contents of the file. HTML, XML and RDF are markup languages. Markup indicators are often called tags.
A syntax and procedure for embedding in text documents tags that control formatting when the documents are viewed by a special application. A Web browser interprets HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).
See | markup | language | HTML | DHTML | VRML | XML | Links | minimization: To minimize the tag of an element is to omit its end-tag, or its ending character such as the semicolon. NEVER do this. You may think that you can get away with indulging your laziness thus, and for a time it may appear that you are indeed getting away with it; but there will ALWAYS come a time when it will return and bite you, so NEVER minimize a tag. So say Dan Meriwether, Dan Austin, Arden, and all other enlightened beings on this planet and on others. | Links
A formal way of annotating a document or collection of digital data using embedded encoding tags to indicate the structure of the document or datafile and the contents of its data elements. This markup also provides a computer with information about how to process and display marked-up documents.
Markup language is a set of codes or tags that surrounds content and tells a person or program what that content is (its structure) and/or what it should look like (its format). Markup tags have a distinct syntax that sets them apart from the content that they surround. Three of the most well known markup languages are: SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) XML (eXtensible Markup Language)
Authors encode information using a "markup language" such as HTML [HTML4], SVG [SVG], or MathML [MATHML].
A markup language combines text and extra information about the text. The extra information, for example about the text's structure or presentation, is expressed using markup, which is intermingled with the primary text. The best-known markup language in modern use is HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), one of the foundations of the World Wide Web.
