In computer text processing, a markup language is one that annotates the content without changing it. The text written in a markup language is not usually visible in a graphic representation of the content, but instead is used to structure it and organise its appearance.
Some common examples of markup languages are XML: Extensible Markup Language, HTML, Markdown and Wikitext, the syntax Mediawiki (and this wiki) uses to format a page.
