== Lout? ==
What about [[Lout]]? --[[User:Mecanismo|Mecanismo]] 19:56, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
== Origin of RTF ==
Isn't RTF based on TeX? At least the syntax is clearly isnpired on it. I don't have any references, though. --[[User:193.86.75.124|193.86.75.124]] 11:07, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
:Don't think that there's all that much specific similarity other than backslashes and curly brackets... [[User:AnonMoos|AnonMoos]] ([[User talk:AnonMoos|talk]]) 19:40, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
== MIF information wrong ==
MIF was available with the first release of FrameMaker in 1986, and Adobe did NOT invent it. It was developed by Frame Technology Corporation which also produced FrameMaker. Adobe acquired Frame Technology in 1995. This is documented at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framemaker. A better history is found at http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmhist00.html
== Definition of "Structural markup" ==
What is structural markup? DocBook and DITA clearly create structural markup. It is very doubtful that HTML, XHTML 1.0 and similar XML grammars create structural markup. They do not define any meaningful document structure. Almost anything can occur in any order. The table showing all the listed DTDs as providing structural markup is meaningless.
== S1000D ==
S1000D is one big international standard for technical publications, especially used in the aerospace and defence industry. Schema and stylesheets are publically available.
It might be quoted in the article too.

== Suggestion to merge [[Comparison of OpenDocument and Microsoft Office Open XML formats]] into this article ==
'''Objection'''. The [[Comparison of OpenDocument and Microsoft Office Open XML formats]] article appears to contain a large amount of relevant information that cannot be condensed into table form. Much of this information would be lost if the merger took place. —[[User:Gorgan almighty|gorgan_almighty]] 11:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
A better place for such information about the ODF vs OOXML debate is http://www.iosn.net/open-standards/organizations/ODFA%20UKAG%20Technical%20White%20Paper.pdf
This is much more technically detailed and less politicised than the proposed merge. Perhaps a reference to the above pdf would be sufficient for this site.
The ODF/XML formats are very highly publicized, and as such deserve their own article.
'''Object to merge'''. There is heavy politics and computer related news reports specifically about competition between these two formats. OOXML was created as a response to ODF and this article is necessary. --[[User_talk:AlexOvShaolin|<span style="color:Grey;">'''Alex'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/AlexOvShaolin|<span style="color:Black;">Ov</span>]][[Shaolin|<span style="color:red;">'''Shaolin'''</span>]] 02:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
== merge List of ML's to here, but not Comparison of ODF and OOXML format or licensing ==
I have tagged "Comparison of OpenDocument and Office Open XML licensing" to merge to "Comparison of OpenDocument and Office Open XML formats". I think this would make more sense than merging either of those articles to here. I do think that the "List of document markup languages" can be merged with this article to some advantage. - [[User:Bcharles|Bcharles]] 21:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
:Noting the above objection and no defense for merge, i removed the tags to merge with "Comparison of OpenDocument and Microsoft Office Open XML formats". - [[User:Bcharles|Bcharles]] 09:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
== "Latest stable version" column ==
I don't find this information particularly useful or interesting, but maybe I'm in the minority. In any case, what usefulness the information has depends on it being strictly accurate. But I think the column is unlikely to stay accurate for very long. New versions will be released often, and no one will think to update the article accordingly. Therefore I suggest that the column be deleted. —[[User:134.242.21.254|134.242.21.254]] 19:00, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
:I agree that this column is not relevant: Version numbers are not something which can be used to compare these languages. Therefore I will delete it. --[[User:Marko knoebl|Marko knoebl]] ([[User talk:Marko knoebl|talk]]) 13:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
== Definition of "control code" ==
The term "control code", as used in the markup type column, is not explained
although Wikipedia in general redirects it to "control character".
That interpretation is however incorrect in at least the case of TeX,
and I think also nroff. [[User:81.231.39.161|81.231.39.161]] 15:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
== Expand ==
I tagged this article with {{tn|expand}} template. I think that it can be expanded with i.e. compability tables, etc. I'm not really into this subject, but this table looks kinda small for me, and does not contain much information. [[User:Holek|Hołek]] [[User talk:Holek|҉]] 08:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
== General information: Creator column ==
I think that renaming the ''Creator'' column to ''Maintainer'' would be more accurate. Some standards have been created by one company, and their stewardship have later been transfered to another organization. For example, if MIF were standardized by ECMA, the creator would remain Frame, but the maintainer would become ECMA. Or HTML was invented by Tim Berners-Lee, but is maintained by W3C. If nobody object this (small) change, I will do it in a few days. [[User:Hervegirod|Hervegirod]] ([[User talk:Hervegirod|talk]]) 09:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
== DARPA project w3.org and Curl ML ==
Given the involvement of Tim Berners-Lee in the DARPA project at MIT, it seems rather odd that the MIT Curl web content markup language of Steve Ward and others (now www.curl.com) is not in this comparison.
MIT spun-off Curl which is now part of Sumisho.
On the Document Markup Languages page, Curl is only in the SEE ALSO section. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Grshiplett|Grshiplett]] ([[User talk:Grshiplett|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Grshiplett|contribs]]) 17:39, 15 March 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Adding Creole Ok? ==
I was looking a round and could not find Creole on the page or in the tables. I will add it unless there is a reason not to [[User:Tharple|Tharple]] ([[User talk:Tharple|talk]]) 19:13, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
== External links modified ==
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on [[Comparison of document markup languages]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=795043668 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20050923154045/http://docbook.org/oasis/intro.html to http://docbook.org/oasis/intro.html

== RTF is not a markup language ==
And its page says this explicitly [[Rich Text Format#Human readability|here]]: "RTF is a data format for saving and sharing documents, not a markup language; it is not intended for intuitive and easy typing by a human." <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jsilverst|Jsilverst]] ([[User talk:Jsilverst#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jsilverst|contribs]]) 16:46, 8 May 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:I've removed it as requested. [[User:Aaronshenhao|Aaronshenhao]] ([[User talk:Aaronshenhao|talk]]) 10:48, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
== Dual entries or multiple entries for languages built on other languages ==
I've updated the article to add [[IBM Generalized Markup Language|GML]] and [[LaTeX]], and that raised a general question. When one language is an extension of another, e.g., roff/troff, TeX/LaTeX, should there be a single consolidated entry or separate entries. For the nonce I've included GML with Script and LaTeX with TeX.
I've also added a tag asking for an explanation of ''control code'' and ''tag''; as far as I can tell, the labeling is arbitrary. Markup such as '''.p''', '''<nowiki><p></nowiki>''' and '''\usepackage''' certainly appear to be of the same character. [[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul]] ([[User talk:Chatul|talk]]) 20:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
== Add "open format?" column ==
Some languages listed in the table include an "Open format?" section in their template. This would be a useful comparison to add to the table. [[User:Aaronshenhao|Aaronshenhao]] ([[User talk:Aaronshenhao|talk]]) 10:51, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
:Have added the column and some entries in "characteristics" table [[User:Aaronshenhao|Aaronshenhao]] ([[User talk:Aaronshenhao|talk]]) 11:29, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
:It would be more useful if the article defined ''open format''. Does that mean a format that is unencumbered by alleged intellectual property rights? Does it mean a format that has been standardized? E, none of the above? --[[User:Chatul|Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul]] ([[User talk:Chatul|talk]]) 03:02, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
== Addition of Markedly Structured Text (MyST) ==
If nobody opposes the idea, in a few days I will include [https://mystmd.org/ Markedly Structured Text (MyST)] to this list. It's a superset of CommonMark Markdown created in 2022. [[User:CAkira|Akira - Cleber Akira Nakandakare]] ([[User talk:CAkira|talk]]) 13:57, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
