Line 35 ⟶ 36:

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|<fontspan colorstyle="color:Grey;">'''Alex'''</fontspan>]][[Special:Contributions/AlexOvShaolin|<fontspan colorstyle="color:Black;">Ov</fontspan>]][[Shaolin|<fontspan colorstyle="color:red;">'''Shaolin'''</fontspan>]] 02:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

== 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">—&nbsp;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-->

== 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.)

== 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)
