==Markup language==
A markup language consists of a set of symbols inserted in a plain text document in order to '''define additional attributes''' such as '''formatting instructions''' (bold, italics, etc.), '''structuring instructions''' (chapters, headings, references, etc.) or '''metadata'''. Based on the information contained in the markup code, software applications can render the text document for a specific output medium (such as a screen or print).
 

Some common markup languages are: HTML, XML, Markdown, Mediawiki syntax, LaTeX, ICML(inCopy files).


What follows is the same section of text ''marked'' by different markup languages:

There is a room in the **Musée d’Orsay** that I call the *room of possibilities*.

That room contains:

* a snow flake
* the end of a cloud
* a bit of nothing
</pre>
