Can not understand the questions about Markups[edit source]

1. I have no idea what are "target layout indicators for text passages", "functions of text passages" and "relationships between content" in the first questions. For me, "Content should be marked up using" specials escape characters, like \ in latex, or < > ... </ > in xml/html. So we have elements (<tag/>) and their attributes (<tag attr="value"/>), entities (& amp;) and text inside tags.

2. A markup language for the Web must...

  • represent all kinds of media in one format

Why this is not true? It helps to do that since in 1 html document we can have text, video, images, etc.


What do you mean by that:

  • structure content as to be able to delegate display and interaction to software modules

  • be fixed once such that all browsers always understand how to interpret it

Why it is not correct? We have fixed amount of html tags.


Only xml tags are not fixed, but html are not extensible (but you marked it as true):

  • be extensible by Web developers
