User:Toussaint/scripting markup language

Note: this is an essay

A scripting markup language is a markup language that, like its programming-based counterpart, allows some control of a single or many document(s) or software application(s). Scripting markup languages, unlike scripting languages like JavaScript, are not (yet) externally-useable as standalone external scripts, but are otherwise embeddable within markup languages such as HTML and SVG; furthermore, as SVG is externally useable through the <img src="" />, SMIL also serves an indirect external purpose to the HTML document.

It is possible that such languages as SMIL may become externally useable in <script> form for HTML pages in the future, with greater control over the user interface behavior definitions which were previously determined by programmatically-defined scripts; this may make it more useable as a multi-document control method as well.

Scripting markup languages can potentially be used for most of the uses already accorded to most scripting languages:

  • Job control languages and shells
  • GUI Scripting
  • Application-specific languages
  • Web browsers
  • Web servers
  • Text processing languages
