Markup languages, was Re: Does anyone have a copy of WordPerfect 5.1 for linux?

[Tom and Esther Ward]

Hi.
Html is a markup language developed for the internet. It's tagging is very
simple for basic bolding, italics, linking to other documents, other web
sites.  However, while a good markup language it is not great for real heavy
document writing.
Xml is primarily used  for large documents such as manuals, users guides,
and college papers.
One of the great things about xml is that docbook has tools for converting
xml in to other file formats like pdf documents or postscript for a printer,
and other formats. That is one thing other markup languages like html can
not do.

Hi Tom,

On 19 Mar 2004 22:22:59  (my local time 20 mar 2004 05:22:59), you
typed::
TaEW> 3. Learn a markup language such as xml or html which is totally text
based,
TaEW> and works in any text editor you like.

What's the difference between XML and Html? Is XMl harder to learn?
and wasn't there a set of tools that could in a sort of automagic way
make HTML, XML and other markup languages files?
