DocBook

DocBook provides a system for writing structured documents using SGML or XML. It is particularly well-suited to books and papers about computer hardware and software, though it is by no means limited to them.

In short, DocBook is an easy-to-understand and widely used DTD. Dozens of organizations use DocBook for millions of pages of documentation, in various print and online formats, worldwide.

HTML, the HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup language for pages on the World Wide Web.

This type of coding is used to create paragraphs, add backgrounds, change text color and size, tables, lists, clickable links, and images.

Some examples of HTML tags are:

<html> - To begin an html document
<body> - To add background colors or images and change text and link colors
<p> - To create paragraphs
<font> - To change text size and color


In the example above, those were opening HTML tags. Most but not all opening tags require a closing tag like </html></body></p></font>

SMIL

"The Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) is a recommendation from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that allows for the creation of time-based multimedia delivery over the web. Based on XML, it allows developers to mix many types of media, text, video, graphics, audio and vector based animation together and to synchronize them to a timeline."

Definition from the Web Developer's Virtual Library

XHTML

Please make sure that your submission cannot be placed in a more narrow category.

Some specific notes:

XHTML (Extensible HyperText Markup Language) is the reformulation of HTML 4 into XML. This allows for a highly extensible and widely supported language.

XML

This category includes numerous sub-categories. Please check sub-categories for more appropriate submissions.

For example, separate categories exist for mailing lists, FAQs, help and tutorials, chats and forums under Computers/Data_Formats/Markup_Languages/XML/Resources

For XSL and XSL(T) related entries, please check Computers/Data_Formats/Markup_Languages/XML/Style_Sheets/XSL for appropriate submissions.

This category is for sites related to Extensible Markup Language (XML). XML is a subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is the universal format for structured documents and data on the Web.

Its goal is to enable generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML. XML has been designed for ease of implementation and for interoperability with both SGML and HTML.
