[edit] Lout?
What about Lout? --Mecanismo 19:56, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Origin of RTF
Isn't RTF based on TeX? At least the syntax is clearly isnpired on it. I don't have any references, though. --193.86.75.124 11:07, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MIF information wrong
MIF was available with the first release of FrameMaker in 1986, and Adobe did NOT invent it. It was developed by Frame Technology Corporation which also produced FrameMaker. Adobe acquired Frame Technology in 1995. This is documented at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framemaker. A better history is found at http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmhist00.html
[edit] Definition of "Structural markup"
What is structural markup? DocBook and DITA clearly create structural markup. It is very doubtful that HTML, XHTML 1.0 and similar XML grammars create structural markup. They do not define any meaningful document structure. Almost anything can occur in any order. The table showing all the listed DTDs as providing structural markup is meaningless.
[edit] S1000D
S1000D is one big international standard for technical publications, especially used in the aerospace and defence industry. Schema and stylesheets are publically available.
It might be quoted in the article too.

[edit] Suggestion to merge Comparison of OpenDocument and Microsoft Office Open XML formats into this article
Objection. The Comparison of OpenDocument and Microsoft Office Open XML formats article appears to contain a large amount of relevant information that cannot be condensed into table form. Much of this information would be lost if the merger took place. —gorgan_almighty 11:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
The ODF/XML formats are very highly publicized, and as such deserve their own article.
[edit] merge List of ML's to here, but not Comparison of ODF and OOXML format or licensing
I have tagged "Comparison of OpenDocument and Office Open XML licensing" to merge to "Comparison of OpenDocument and Office Open XML formats". I think this would make more sense than merging either of those articles to here. I do think that the "List of document markup languages" can be merged with this article to some advantage. - Bcharles 21:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Noting the above objection and no defense for merge, i removed the tags to merge with "Comparison of OpenDocument and Microsoft Office Open XML formats". - Bcharles 09:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
