The Handheld Device Markup Language (HDML) is a markup language<ref name="w3c-page" /> intended for display on handheld computers, information appliances, smartphones, etc.. It is similar to HTML,<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> but for wireless and handheld devices with small displays, like PDA, mobile phones and so on.
It was originally developed in about 1996 by Unwired Planet,<ref name="mag-cite"/> the company that became Phone.com and then Openwave.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> HDML was submitted to W3C for standardization,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> but was not turned into a standard. Instead it became an important influence on the development and standardization of WML, which then replaced HDML in practice. Unlike WML, HDML has no support for scripts.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>
