Markup Languages
Formatting can be marked by tags distinguished from the body text by special characters, such as angle brackets in HTML. For example, this text:
The dog is classified as Canis lupus familiaris in taxonomy.
is marked up in HTML thus:
The dog is classified as Canis lupus familiaris in taxonomy.
The italicised text is enclosed by an opening and a closing italics tag. In LaTeX, the text would be marked up like this:
The dog is classified as \textit{Canis lupus familiaris} in taxonomy.
Markup languages can be implemented with any text editor, needing no special software.
