  • Language for defining documents for the Web
  • Provides an extensible set of tags
  • Separates data and display: tags should describe data not display of data
  • Tags and attributes are case sensitive
  • Developers can define their tags: Document Type Definition file
  • Display described elsewhere: XSL or CSS
  • DTD: write infrequently and use for many XML files
  • XSL or CSS can vary: multiple if needed for one XML file
