 Introduction to HTML -- HyperText Markup Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
HTML is known as a logical or structural markup language, and is not so much concerned with the appearance of a document as it is about its structure.
Markup languages like Rich Text Format (RTF), Postscript, and other word processing file types, focus mainly on the formatting in a document (such as the typefaces and styles, exact position of illustrations, margin size).
A logical markup language is used to describe the structure of the document, and allows an application that views it to interpret much of the formatting.

 RFC 2070 (rfc2070) - Internationalization of the Hypertext Markup Language
Example tags include: en, en-US, en-cockney, i-cherokee, x-pig-latin In the context of HTML, a language tag is not to be interpreted as a single token, as per RFC 1766, but as a hierarchy.
NOTE -- using the language tag as a hierarchy does not imply that all languages with a common prefix will be understood by those fluent in one or more of those languages; it simply allows the user to request this commonality when it is true for that user.
Cursive joining behaviour Markup is needed in some cases to force cursive joining behavior in contexts in which it would not normally occur, or to block it when it would normally occur.

 Jeff Barry: The Hypertext Markup Language
Since the hypertext nature of the Web facilitates the browsing of networked resources, Web client software has generically come to be known as "browsers." Although it is important to the operation of the Web, authors of HTML documents don't need understand the details of the HTTP protocol.
The format for specifying a hypertext link consists of at least three parts: the ANCHOR tag, the network address of the document to be linked, and the text to be displayed in the formatted document.
A common effect hypertext has on readers is the sensation of being "lost in hyperspace." Without any navigational aids or clues from the author, readers may lose their sense of orientation as to which documents should be read next and which documents have already been read.

HTML is the simple and powerful language used to describe web pages, and is still used as the main interface language to the web.
GML was based on the work of Rice and Tunnicliffe with tagging schemes, and added a formal document structure, so that any computer program could automatically process and format the individual parts of the document.
Dan Connolly, Jon Bosak, and others at the W3C have also developed a successor to SGML called the Extensible Markup Language (XML), which provides the structure to enable design of a range of languages like HTML for various purposes, and is in wide and increasing use.
