Characteristics
Some characteristics of the markup languages.
Notes
- ↑ An Emacs mode and a Mozilla extension are available.
- ↑ Many markup languages have purposely avoided presentational markups. For markup languages based on SGML and XML, CSS is used as a presentation layer.
- ↑ Presentational markup is deprecated as of XHTML 1.0 and no longer allowed as of XHTML 1.1
- ↑ Presentational markup is deprecated as of HTML 4.0
- ↑ MathML comes in two mark-up syntaxes: a semantic and a presentational.
- ↑ uses Content MathML, OpenMath or other formats for formulae
- ↑ Exact presentation of symbols can be specified in OMDoc; these specifications are used when transforming OMDoc to a presentational format.
