  Markup Systems and the Future of Scholarly Text Processing
Markup is exposed when the system shows the markup as it occurs in the source file, that is, without performing any special formatting.
Moreover, the markup selection for the termination of an element type (where necessary) is short-circuited by the convention of using a standard affix for the markup that was just selected to initiate the element.
Descriptive markup allows the targets of editing operations to be not only characters, words, and lines but also the actual text-element tokens, the regions of text that fall within the scope of a particular markup tag.

 Theoretical Issues in Text Encoding: A Critical Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Others argue that all markup is interpretative, but this is not a problem: markup allows scholars to express an interpretation of a text, advancing theories, and exposing their interpretations to criticism.
Markup theorists have used a number of terms for kinds of markup, such as explicit, implicit, procedural, presentational, punctuational, descriptive, prescriptive, and authorial.
Conventions of scribal markup are semantically ambiguous, and underspecification and ambiguity are common in human 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.

 Markup and Style: History and Philosophy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A markup language is a notation system for describing documents in which the text of documents is intermixed with markup: annotations that describe aspects of the structure or format of a document.
Markup languages are typically used to define the source documents for document processors; the document processor transforms the markup into a suitable output representation for printing or display.
HTML is Hypertext Markup Language, based on the core syntax of SGML, but using a fixed set of markup elements based on hypertext presentation.

 The Nature of Linguistic Data and the Requirements of a Computing Environment for Linguistic Research
As the decade of the 80s dawned, virtually no OWLs were using computers, but the personal computer revolution was just beginning and it was possible to foresee its impact on our discipline (Simons 1980).
One of these is keyboarding: a multilingual computing environment would know that part of the definition of a language is its conventions for keyboarding, and would automatically switch keyboard layouts based on the language of the datum under the system cursor.
The TEI proposal for markup of linguistic analysis depends heavily on feature structures; see Langendoen and Simons (1995) for a description of the approach and a discussion of its rationale.

 Possibility of Semantic Web Without Unicode Markup
Therefore, what we need is a binary markup between artificial agents, and a translation between binary markup and UI for us to see the structure and semantics.
Unicode markup is possibly required for programmers to give structure, and for data exchange between heterogeneous systems.
Computers had demonstrated their potential that they can `read' and `reply' more efficiently as databases, and programmers had demonstrated that they can manage databases easily.

 markup - a definition from Whatis.com
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).

 [No title]
It is based on the generic markup of the structural elements of a document without regard to their presentation, which is regarded as a separate issue.
The need for such a standard has become urgent in the fields of computational lexicology, lexicography, and linguistics with the rapid dispersion of copies of several different machine-readable dictionaries and extensive research on the applications of such dictionaries.
In early 1986, the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) was published as an international standard for the structuring of documents.

 Multilingual Markup of Digital Library Texts Using XML, TEI and XSLT
The main reason for this initiative is that markup schemes usually are defined in English and there is a large community of users who do not use the English language so fluently and then lose its meaning.
If the markup scheme is translated to the users' language, the process of assimilating and controlling its use will be accelerated and the production of marked-up texts will increase, with the corresponding reduction of costs.
A risk to be avoided, if the advantages of using a standard widely accepted markup scheme are to be preserved, is the development of alternative markup schemes in different languages which may evolve independently from the central standard.

 Percentage markup   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
If the mercant bought an item for $10.00 and sold it for $14.00 then the markup on this item is $4.00.
Thus the percentage markup on this item is 40%.
For another example suppose the merchant bought the item for $35.12 and she sold it for $49.95 then the markup is $49.95-$35.12=$14.83 As a fraction of her cost the markup is 14.83/35.12 = 0.422.

 Application hosting for pervasive computing
Essentially, transcoding is necessary whenever two computer systems that are not completely compatible need to communicate (such as a client computer running a browser and a server providing marked-up content).
In addition to the actual application and the delivery path associated with it, a further element that had to be put in place as part of this service offering is the capability to subscribe users, manage their personal data, and configure their user devices accordingly.
This is necessary because of the growing variety of end-user devices that require device-specific content due to different markup languages, a diverging set of device features that need to be integrated into the application, and a different usage and interaction model.

 STSC CrossTalk - Introduction to the User Interface Markup Language - JanĀ 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
While hardware vendors have given us a rich array of computing devices - PDAs with wireless connectivity, cell phones, even the telephone - the promise of these devices in providing portable and easy-to-use access to data is difficult to realize using conventional software development tools.
It would need to be flexible enough to describe user interfaces using widely different metaphors such as graphic user interfaces, voice interfaces, interfaces for automotive on-board computers with unconventional interaction devices, and interfaces for devices not yet invented such as those embedded in soldiers' uniforms.
This makes it easier to use a wide range of computing devices in software applications, and results in user interfaces that are much more easily adapted to new computing devices as they emerge on the market.

 HTML - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HTML is defined in formal specifications that were developed and published throughout the 1990s, inspired by Tim Berners-Lee's prior proposals to graft hypertext capability onto a homegrown SGML-like markup language for the Internet.
The first published specification for a language called HTML was drafted by Berners-Lee with Dan Connolly, and was published in 1993 by the IETF as a formal "application" of SGML (with an SGML Document Type Definition defining the grammar).
Most graphical e-mail clients allow the use of a subset of HTML (often ill-defined) to provide formatting and semantic markup capabilities not available with plain text, like emphasized text, block quotations for replies, and diagrams or mathematical formulas that couldn't easily be described otherwise.
