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.)
