5 Tags

wml is a language of tags. Tags are commands the browser interprets when displaying content. Each tag is a descriptive (in most cases) term or code enclosed in a pair of less than and greater than < angle brackets>. Most come as a pair of opening and a closing tags. The closing tag contains a forward slash / before the tag name. All tags are written lowercase, uppercase will result in an error message (unlike html). An example is <p> for paragraph. Everything displayed by the browser is written inside the paragraph tags.

<p> A paragraph of text. </p>

Several tags are not part of a pair. Single tags still need closing. A single tag is closed with the forward slash after the tag name. An example is <br/> for line break.

<p> Some text<br/> on<br/> a new line. </p>

Comments.

One unique tag is available for comments. It has no effect on anything within the code, but is used to make comments to anyone reading the source code. Comments simply add some notes, hopefully making the source code easier to understand.
