`markup language In text processing, a system of codes for
`marking the format of a unit of text that indicates only that a
`particular unit of text is a certain part of the document, such' as
`an abstract, a title, or an author's name and affiliation. The actual
`formatting of the document part is left up to another program,
`called a viewer, whicli~displays the marked document and gives
`each document part a distinctive format (fonts, spacing, etc.). An
`international standard language for creating markup languages is
`the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), which was
`little-known until arr•SGML-crafted markup language; the
`HyperText Markup Language (HTML), came into widespread
`use on the Web. HTML is•a-markup language, and the Web
`browsers in use by millions today are viewers for HTML.

`ments at the commands' locations. The program prints all the
