I think DocBook does not have presentational markup. Not more than XHTML does. There are tags <emphasis> and <emphasis role="strong">, but that's just as much as <em> and <strong> in XHTML. 62.176.30.2 19:02, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*roff as a markup language

What about roff, troff, nroff, groff, etc.? Where do they fit in in this scheme?

OpenDocument

Shouldn’t OpenDocument be included here? —Masatran 18:06, 16 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

OpenDocument is XML-based, but it's not a markup language in the same way these others (including *roff) are; it's not designed to be written by hand in a text editor, but to be the file format for a WYSIWYG word processor. Most would agree that it's a file format more than a markup language of its own.

Lout?

What about Lout? --Mecanismo 19:56, 26 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
