The special codes, called tags, that mark up a text in the Web's HTML file format, controlling how the text will flow onto the screen and automatically arrange itself with respect to pictures and other screen design elements.
From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 ( 2004-02-04) Markup takes the form of start-tags, end-tags, empty-element tags, entity references, character references, comments, CDATA section delimiters, document type declarations, processing instructions, XML declarations, text declarations, and any white space that is at the top level of the document entity (that is, outside the document element and not inside any other markup).
Text or codes added to a document to convey information about it. Usually used to formulate a document's layout or create links to other documents or information servers. HTML is a common form of markup.
A special form of text embedded in a document that describes elements of document structure, layout, presentation, or delivery.
To mark a layout or sheet of copy, indicating the choice of typeface, typesize, etc.

a feature of text that annotates content with any kind of 'extra' information
an instruction that defines XML
a tag or a code that identifies information
Syntax used with text to indicate formatting instructions to a processor (or parser). In XML, the characters '' and '&' signify the start of markup.
In a document, if content is one level of information, markup is a second level, providing information about the content. In SGML documents, markup is composed of markup characters.
Special codes in a document that specify how parts of it are to be processed by an application. In a word-processor file, markup specifies how the text is to be formatted; in an HTML document, the markup specifies the text's structural function (heading, title, paragraph, etc.).

Text that is added to the data of a document in order to convey information about it.-- ISO 8879
Markup is comprised of several "special characters" that are used to structure a document's character data into logical components that can then be labeled (named) so that they can be manipulated more easily by a software application. (Everything in an XML document is either "character data" or "markup".)
A generic term that refers to the sequence of characters or other symbols that are inserted in a text or word processing file to indicate how the file should look when it is printed or displayed. Markup can also describe the document's logical structure. Markup elements are often called "tags". HTML is an example of a markup language.
These are special codes that describe how parts of a document are to be processed by a particular software application.
By marking up a document you give the document and its content structure and meaning. On the web, HTML and XHTML is used for markup.
Adding marks to a text to indicate how it should be presented; in HTML these marks are called tags.
Syntactically delimited characters added to the data of a document to represent its structure. There are four different kinds of markup: descriptive markup (tags), references, markup declarations, and processing instructions. [SGML
Markup is a set of coded commands called tags, describing logic and style for authors, and formatting and layout for printers, that editors inscribed, once upon a time, long ago and far away, in red ink with a stylus upon a sheet of papyrus that formed part of what was then called a manuscript (MS; plural MSS), and gave the MS which they had marked up (whence the term markup) to authors for revision, then to printers who printed them and gave the printout to proofreaders who marked up the printout with tags in red ink that indicated how the printers were to correct the errors that appeared in the printout; and that websters now insert into documents that they write in a markup language to create hypertext with hyperLinks so that when Web browsers see the HTML tags, non-Microsoft browsers will know how to lay out and format the document for the inspection of human readers, and Microsoft's browers will know how to mess it up. | HTML-Curriculum | More Links | | | Links
