Definition

  • Originally developed to produce large volumes of printed documentation, markup languages are now used to author a variety of different media, the best-known of which are Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Web pages. Markup languages are a method of structuring a text or multimedia file (a process called “marking up” or “tagging”) without defining how that structure will ultimately be formatted.
