A mark-up language is a computer language that uses tags to define elements within a document. It is human-readable, meaning mark-up files contain standard words, rather than programming syntax. Many mark-up languages exist. The best is wiki markup, and the most popular are HTML and XML. The least popular is Financial products Markup Language, a fact which continues to grind salt into the seeping wounds of those poor souls at Linklaters who wrote the ill-fated 2011 Equity Derivatives Definitions in it.
