The Top Most 5 Markup Languages: Have A Quick Look!

Markup languages are designed to process, define, and present text. The language specifies the code for data formatting, both the layout and style within a text file.

The code used to specify the data formatting is known as tags.

Some other major markup languages include:

(1)  Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)
(2) HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
(3) Extensible Markup Language (XML)
(4) Generalized Markup Language (GML)
(5) LaTex

         Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)
SGML is a metalanguage, created by IBM and standardized in 1986 by ISO.
It is used to create other languages including HTML& XHTML.
It is one of the most powerful languages that describe document information which seems very difficult to learn.

Let’s look up to three mostly used markup languages :
       HTML — HyperText Markup Language

You got it! Here’s the text rewritten in a friendlier tone:

Hey there! HTML is like the superhero language of web developers. It’s the go-to for crafting how images, videos, and text appear on web browsers. With its cool elements, it brings that interactive spark to your web documents.

HTML is the OG markup language, based on SGML. It uses tags to give structure to your content, all wrapped up in those < and > characters.

           XML — eXtensible Markup Language

The eXtensible Markup Language is the language that another version of HTML is based on Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).

It is less strict than SGML and more strict than plain HTML. XML provides the extensibility to create various languages.

        xHTML — eXtended HyperText Markup Language

There aren’t a lot of major differences between HTML and XHTML, but some of them are below :

XHTML is written in lowercase. While HTML tags can be written in UPPER case, mixed case, or lowercase.

All XHTML elements must have an end tag. Elements with only one tag, such as and need a closing slash (/) at the end of the tag.

XHTML requires that tags are nested correctly. If you open a bold (<b>) element and then an italics (<i>) element, you must close the italics element (</i>) first and then close the bold (</b>).
