| SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language)SGML is a markup language for structured documents. Being the foundation for HTML, SGML today is the most frequently used language for structuring documents. The rules for how documents of a certain type may be structured are specified in a DTD, and every application of SGML (such as HTML) defines such a DTD. Even though SGML has been very successful, it is also rather complex and contains a lot of obscure features which are rarely used (and implemented). Thus, when a new language for replacing HTML on the WWW was needed, rather than directly taking SGML, a functional subset of SGML was defined, which has become known under the name of XML.
