In HTML and XML, a numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and uses the format: &#xhhhh;. or &#nnnn; where the x must be lowercase in XML documents, hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form, and nnnn is the code point in decimal form.
On the opposite, the code point U+0085 is a valid control character in Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646, as well as in XML 1.0 and XML 1.1 documents (in all contexts), and its usage is not discouraged (it is treated as whitespace in many XML contexts, or as a line-break control similar to U+000D and U+000A in preformatted texts in some XML applications).
If the XML document type declaration includes any SYSTEM identifier for the external subset, it can not be safely processed as standalone: the URI should be retrieved, otherwise there may be unknown named character entities whose definition may be needed to correctly parse the effective XML syntax in the internal subset or in the document body ...
CDATA sections are useful for writing XML code as text data within an XML document. For example, if one wishes to typeset a book with XSL explaining the use of an XML application, the XML markup to appear in the book itself will be written in the source file in a CDATA section.
Tree-traversal APIs accessible from a programming language, for example DOM. XML data binding, which provides an automated translation between an XML document and programming-language objects. Declarative transformation languages such as XSLT and XQuery. Syntax extensions to general-purpose programming languages, for example LINQ and Scala.
Example of RecipeML, a simple markup language based on XML for creating recipes. The markup can be converted programmatically for display into, for example, HTML, PDF or Rich Text Format. A markup language is a text-encoding system which specifies the structure and formatting of a document and potentially the relationships among its parts. [1]
Music Encoding Initiative (MEI): an XML-based language for digital representations of music notation documents. Music Markup Language; MusicXML: an XML-based music notation file format. MXML: a language used to declaratively lay-out the interface of applications, and also to implement complex business logic and rich internet application behaviors
^ Omitted XML elements are commonly decoded by XML data binding tools as NULLs. Shown here is another possible encoding; XML schema does not define an encoding for this datatype. ^ The RFC CSV specification only deals with delimiters, newlines, and quote characters; it does not directly deal with serializing programming data structures.
