State the term a markup language

Question

State the term a markup language?

Answer 1

A markup language is a set of symbols and words for exampling the identity of pieces of a document (for illustration:

• It is a paragraph,
• It is a heading,
• It is a list and
• It is the caption of this figure).

Programs can utilize it with a stylesheet to create output for print, screen, video, Braille and audio.

Some markup languages (for example: those used within wordprocessors) only describe appearances (it is italics, this is bold), but such method can just be used for display, and is not usually re-usable for anything else.
