Technologies we use
 | Markup systems |
- XML
- The Extensible Markup Language is a simplified form of SGML. It lets you define markup for specific purposes, especially for Web applications.
- SGML
- The Standard Generalized Markup Language (ISO 8879) is the international standard for markup languages. SGML is more powerful than XML but larger and more complex.
- HTML and XHTML
- The HyperText Markup Language is an application of SGML and XML in common use by Web browsers.
- XSL and XSLT, and CSS
- The Extensible Stylesheet Language and its Transformation application allow programmable conversions from XML into other file formats. Cascading StyleSheets are used with HTML to format Web pages.
- LaTeX
- LaTeX is a document preparation system for use with the TeX typesetting program. It has structural similarities with SGML and XML, making it very easy to use for formatting.
