markup language
A markup language is a computer language that uses tags to define elements within a document. It provides a method to describe both the structure and the presentation of the content within the document. Markup languages are designed for the processing, definition, and presentation of text, with the code usually embedded within the text files. The most commonly known markup languages are HTML (HyperText Markup Language) for web pages and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) for data interchange.

Markup language
A markup language is a modern system for annotating a document in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from the text. The idea and terminology evolved from the "marking up" of paper manuscripts, i.e., the revision instructions by editors, traditionally written with a blue pencil on authors' manuscripts. In digital media this "blue pencil instruction text" was replaced by tags, that is, instructions are expressed directly by tags or "instruction text encapsulated by tags". Examples are typesetting instructions such as those found in troff, TeX and LaTeX, or structural markers such as XML tags. Markup instructs the software displaying the text to carry out appropriate actions, but is omitted from the version of the text that is displayed to users. Some markup languages, such as HTML, have pre-defined presentation semantics, meaning that their specification prescribes how the structured data are to be presented; others, such as XML, do not. A widely used markup language is HyperText Markup Language, one of the document formats of the World Wide Web. HTML, which is an instance of SGML, follows many of the markup conventions used in the publishing industry in the communication of printed work between authors, editors, and printers.
