  Markup language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sets of markup elements and rules for their use are commonly developed by standards bodies to support the kinds of documents used in particular industries or communities.
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.
XML is now a markup language of choice for interchanging relational database data; for communicating transaction data between servers; for interactive vector graphics; and for many other unanticipated uses.

 ongoing · On Semantics and Markup
The idea is that the markup doesn't tell you what to do with a piece of text, it tells you what it is; as the name suggests, describes it.
Descriptive markup was born in the world of publishing technology, and its advantages for serious large-scale publishing are overwhelming, and have been presented more than enough times, so I won't go into them here.
It is quite possible to have markup that is not as widely-known as HTML and provide software for it that does something useful with it, thus conferring semantics on that markup.

 Lessons In Electric Circuits -- Document markup format
Ideally, documents written using a markup language are completely portable: that is, any single document may be automatically converted to any number of electronic formats for presentation, without any further intervention from the author, because the document uses general terms rather than computer- or printer-specific terms to specify structure and appearance.
Another very important advantage of composing a document in a markup language instead of using a word processor, from the perspective of "open source" projects, is that nothing is hidden from anyone wishing to modify or duplicate the document's structure.
Markup languages, however, prove their worth when any large document projects are involved.

 markup - a Whatis.com definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Markup refers to the sequence of characters or other symbols that you insert at certain places in a text or word processing file to indicate how the file should look when it is printed or displayed or to describe the document's logical structure.
There is now a standard markup definition for document structure (or really a description of how you can define markup) in the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
Markup can be inserted by the document creator directly by typing the symbols in, by using an editor and selecting prepackaged markup symbols (to save keystrokes), or by using a more sophisticated editor that lets you create the document as you want it to appear (this is called a WYSIWYG editor).

 Percent Markup
A store may have a rule that the price of a certain type of item needs to be increased by a certain percentage to determine how much to sell it for.
If the cost is known and the percentage markup is known, the sale price is the original cost plus the amount of markup.
The markup is 25% so the sales price is 125% of the original cost.

 XML.com: Escaped Markup Considered Harmful
It was not always obvious that the idea of well formed markup, and the draconian approach to error detection that the XML 1.0 Recommendation requires, was going to catch on.
Escaped markup is just what it sounds like: markup that has been escaped so that it isn't markup anymore.
I think the most dangerous part of this whole escaped markup kludge is that it encourages naive authors and programmers to adopt this style in other applications.

 PEP 12 -- Sample reStructuredText PEP Template
Literal blocks (in which no markup processing is done) are used for examples throughout, to illustrate the plaintext markup.
Text may be marked as *emphasized* (single asterisk markup, typically shown in italics) or **strongly emphasized** (double asterisks, typically boldface).
In these contexts, no markup recognition is done, and a single backslash represents a literal backslash, without having to double up.

 Clearing a float container without source markup
Since that div is not floated, the container must recognize it and enclose it, and because of that top margin (added by the browser because of the "clear" property), the div "pulls" the bottom edge of the container down below the bottom edge of the float.
First and foremost, this clearing method is not at all intuitive, requiring an extra element be added to the markup.
So having to re-bloat the markup just so floats can be kept within their containers is not an ideal arrangement.

 Re: which came first: content or markup?
Actually, I am more and more wondering in markup is needed in content (or at least XML markup).
To be honnest, it's "markup light" and not 100% "markup free" since they rely on the HTTP headers which are a kind of markup to link mails to threads.
Here again, it's "markup light" rather than 100% markup free but it probably meets the 80/20 rule (to take an image which seems poupular on this list) and probably does more than 80% of what XHTML or DocBook can do for content (I am not speaking of presentation) for less than 20% of the pain.

 Frequently-Asked Questions about the Extensible Markup Language
XML is a markup specification language with which you can design ways of describing information (text or data), usually for storage, transmission, or processing by a program.
Markup which is syntactically correct but semantically meaningless or void should be edited out before conversion.
XML is a markup specification language and XML files are just data: they sit there until you run a program which displays them (like a browser) or does some work with them (like a converter which writes the data in another format, or a database which reads the data), or modifies them (like an editor).
