IBM Generalized Markup Language

IBM Generalized Markup Language ( GML IBM ) is a collection of macros that contains formatting commands for the IBM text processing program SCRIPT. SCRIPT is the main component of IBM's Document Composition Facility ( DCF). With DCF an entry collection of such formatting commands ( tags) will be offered.

GML 1969 and developed in the early 1970s by Charles Goldfarb, Edward Mosher and Raymond Lorie.

GML makes electronic documents portable and compatible with different devices. By the text elements are provided in terms of their contents with a markup results in a logical and non- appearance-related structuring of the document.

GML tags are those markups, the elements as chapters, headings, lists, paragraphs or tables stand out.

GML freed author of texts by document-specific formatting such as fixed fonts, line spacing and page layout, which are required by a script. If GML used a document is marked with tags that specify has to look like a character that is transferable to the same paragraphs, lists, tables, and More. The document may be formatted automatically for a plurality of various peripheral devices by specifying a profile for each device. So you can specify how a document is printed on a laser printer, a dot matrix printer or just a screen without changing the document itself, for example, by establishing a profile.

With Book Master IBM later offered a product that many more formatting commands mastered as SCRIPT.

With the advancement of GML it was one of the two sources today. Basis for the industry standard of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a set of instructions for a structured markup language

Extensible Markup Language was initially an adapted and simplified development of SGML, quickly developed as a result of their proliferation and use on its own standard.

GML is not to be confused with the Game Maker Language, or Geography Markup Language, which was developed by the Open GIS Consortium, by the way.
