Microsoft Longhorn Help: Highlights

“Authors will develop content for "Longhorn" Help using an XML-based markup language called Microsoft Assistance Markup Language (MAML, pronounced "mammal"). Unlike HTML, this markup language is presentation-independent: topics and the elements they contain are defined semantically. For example, in HTML it’s common practice to format menu options and other user interface elements with a bold tag. In MAML, you would instead apply the <ui> element to identify the purpose of the text. MAML consists of a number of distinct content types, each of which defines its own set of valid constituent elements. Examples of content types include conceptual, FAQ, glossary, procedural, troubleshooting, and tutorial.” Read more: WritersUA – Microsoft "Longhorn" Help Highlights
