Isn't it markup?
- jeltz 4y agoNo, it is specifically markup which tries to be nice to read even unrendered. Reading HTML source code is rarely nice and that is also a form of markup language.
- cygx 4y agoYes. In particular a 'lightweight' variant, cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_markup_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_markup_language
- halfbrite 4y agoThis wikipedia page includes reference to WhatsApp... Should it? I understand that you can use bold, italic, underline, but that is where the comparison ends - the answer to Features is "No" in the comparison table versus others. Not all other comparisons include it. It's almost as if someone shoe-horned it in for greater visibility. "Hey look at our app, it's better than competitors because it's listed here!" Yet it's competitors offer the same or more.
