+A MarkupLanguage differs from a ProgrammingLanguage in that it is not TuringComplete. A ProgrammingLanguage can be expressed in a MarkupLanguage (as [XSLT] is expressed in [XML]).

+Unlike an [Encoding] ([ASCII], [unicode(7)], etc) a MarkupLanguage defines [Semantics].
+
+[RTF], [SGML], [XML] are [MarkupLanguage]s, while [C], [Java], and [PostScript] are [ProgrammingLanguage]s
