Modern system for annotating a document A markup language is a text-encoding system which specifies the structure and formatting of a document and potentially the relationships among its parts.[1] Markup can control the display of a document or enrich its content to facilitate automated processing. Some markup languages, such as the widely used HTML, have pre-defined presentation semantics, meaning that their specifications prescribe some aspects of how to present the structured data on particular media.
HTML, like DocBook, Open eBook, JATS, and many others, is based on the markup metalanguages SGML and XML. That is, SGML and XML allow designers to specify particular schemas, which determine which elements, attributes, and other features are permitted, and where.[3] The markup was also commonly applied by editors, proofreaders, publishers, and graphic designers, and indeed by document authors, all of whom might also mark other things, such as corrections, changes, etc. [edit] <!
