Relation between HTML and SGML

Q

What Is the Relation between HTML and SGML?

✍: FYIcenter

A

SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is a metalanguage in which one can define markup languages, like HTML, for documents. SGML is a descendant of IBM's Generalized Markup Language (GML), developed in the 1960s by Charles Goldfarb, Edward Mosher and Raymond Lorie (whose surname initials also happen to be GML).

So you can say that HTML is related to SGML like a child to a parent.
