Typically the big task of a large document is focused on content and organization, and the formatting is a separate concern.
XML is a good start to describing structured text.
- michaelt 3y agoWell, it depends. If you're compiling a report for a college group project (or the workplace equivalent of that) you might well need things like equations and tables and suchlike. For example if you've got a table of performance results with the best performer in each row highlighted in bold, a fact the text references - then separating content and formatting doesn't really make that much sense.

You can tag the text as "important": see <strong> vs. <b> in HTML.
