| | Theological Markup Language |
 | | A language for theological study must handle the markup of text into headings, paragraphs, block quotes, emphasized text, and other basic structural elements that are common to all books and can be represented in a markup language such as HTML. |
 | | Markup needs for theological study that go beyond these basics include the special handling of scripture references, numbering and synchronization schemes such as Strongs numbers, handling multiple versions or translations of the same text, footnotes, index entries, lexicons, and representing page breaks in the original text. |
 | | Markup of subject index entries, scripture references and commentary, names, citations, and dates can be used to build library-wide indexes of those items and assist searching. |
