{{Multiple issues| {{Original research|date=April 2009}} {{More citations needed|date=November 2024}} }} A '''general-purpose markup language''' is a [[markup language]] that is used for more than one purpose or situation. Other, more specialized [[domain-specific language|domain-specific]] markup languages are often based upon these languages. For example, [[HTML|HTML 4.1]] and earlier are domain-specific markup languages (for webpages), and are based on the syntax of [[SGML]], which is a general-purpose markup language. ==List== Notable general-purpose markup languages include: *[[ASN.1]] (Abstract Syntax Notation One) *[[Extensible Binary Meta Language|EBML]] *[[Legal Markup Language|LML]] – general-purpose markup language for expressing markdown, variables, and expressions for machine-readable and executable legal documentation *[[IBM Generalized Markup Language|GML]] – the predecessor of [[Standard Generalized Markup Language|SGML]] *[[Standard Generalized Markup Language|SGML]] – a predecessor of [[XML]] *[[TOML]] *[[XML]] – a stripped-down form of SGML<ref>{{cite book |last1=Szeredi |first1=Péter |last2=Lukácsy |first2=Gergely |title=The Semantic Web Explained: The Technology and Mathematics behind Web 3.0 |date=11 September 2014 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-70036-8 |page=55 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bvwOBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA55 |access-date=18 November 2024 |language=en}}</ref> *[[YAML]] *[[GLML (General-purpose Legal Markup Language)|GLML]] – General-purpose Legal Markup Language ==See also== *[[Comparison of document markup languages]] *[[General-purpose language]] *[[General-purpose modeling]] *[[General-purpose programming language]] *[[S-expression]] ==References== {{reflist}} {{Markup languages}} [[Category:Markup languages|*]] [[Category:Data serialization formats]]
