I was proposing a really simple markup language. I call it content markup
language (CML). It implements a simple object-oriented content markup
infrastructure which treats every page element as an object. It consists of a
simple batch html infrastructure with only four batch file types for forms,
fields, menus, and submenus (.frm/.fld/.mnu/.smn). The batch html files would
consist of line sequencing for access to specified lines within batch files.
CML consists of two main tags, being <source>, and <destination>, and five
standard tags, being <bmp>, <frm>, <fld>, <mnu>, and <smn>. All form, and menu
objects would be bitmap image objects. All text objects would be text data.
All other objects would be treated in the standard manner, but would be applied
at the corresponding page coordinate. Appending subtags to the main tags would
be done by the plus sign at the end of the main tag. As far as I know, the
table, and field html elements are bitmap objects, so I think they can be
implemented easily as form field objects, or menu objects. I think this would
simplify the whole markup language infrastructure. As far as I can tell, it
doesn't require anything else for use for sophisticated web development. I
have a PDF diagram I can send out, in case anyone wants a better picture of the
proposal.Thanks,Jacob
