===Dynamic Markup Language===
The FileMaker Dynamic Markup Language or FDML was a markup language used in the earlier versions of FileMaker introduced in 1998. FDML is also often referred to as ''Claris Dynamic Markup Language'' or ''CDML'', named after its former company [[Claris]]. FDML was an extension of HTML that used special tags, such as <code>[FMP-Record][/FMP-Record]</code> to display FileMaker data on Web pages. FileMaker officially dropped support for FDML in 2004.{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}
