markup language

A markup language is a set of tags and/or a set of rules for creating tags that can be embedded in digital text to provide additional information about the text in order to facilitate automated processing of it, including editing and formatting for display or printing.

Markup language examples:
<ul>
<li><a title="HTML" href="http://code.emrysproductions.com/wiki/html/">HTML</a></li>
<li><a title="XHTML" href="http://code.emrysproductions.com/wiki/xhtml/">XHTML</a></li>
<li><a title="Extensible Markup Language (XML)" href="http://code.emrysproductions.com/wiki/extensible-markup-language-xml/">XML</a></li>
</ul>
