Hi all,
> (Just as the CD replaced the record, XML will replace HTML)
First, may I apologise at continuing this thread when it's most likely been
dropped, but I'm getting behind in my email :o).
The above sentence has confused me. As far as I was aware, XML is a
subset of SGML, which is a meta-language. HTML is a concrete
implementation of SGML, so how can XML (a meta-language?) replace
HTML (a 'proper' language)? Or have I misunderstood sume fundamental
fact?
Always happy to be corrected,
Raj.
