Topic: EXtensible Hypertext Markup Language


  
  Markup language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term "markup" is derived from the traditional publishing practice of "marking up" a manuscript, that is, adding symbolic printer's instructions in the margins of a paper manuscript.
A familiar example of manual markup symbols still in use is proofreader's marks, which are a subset of larger vocabularies of handwritten markup symbols.
The idea of "markup languages" was apparently first presented by publishing executive William W. Tunnicliffe at a conference in 1967, although he preferred to call it "generic coding." Tunnicliffe would later lead the development of a standard called GenCode for the publishing industry.
