Subject: text encoding and text markup
Hello,
for a encyclopedia I am writing an article on "text encoding". I
discovered that I am not sure how this concept is - in the actual use
of words - related to "text markup" and whether there is an
established difference how they are used?
Intuitively I would say that "text encoding" is the more extensive
concept, also including the intellectual and philological processes
necessary to do the markup, while "text markup" rather refers to the
more technical aspects and is just a part of text encoding.
Another point makes this question even more complicated: I am
writing this article for a German lexicon and I have the impression
that in German the relation of "Textkodierung" and
"Textauszeichnung" is just reversed, the latter being the more
abstract concept.
Could you please tell me how you would think a prototypical use of
"text encoding" and "text markup" (to mix two ways of researching
word semantics) should look like if you go by your intuition. As
these concepts are quite young, our intuition can only be quite
weak, and every response is very welcome. To the many German
readers on this list: Do you think my understanding of the German
concepts meets yours?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Fotis Jannidis
btw, I tried to find out whether this question has been discussed
before on Humanist by searching the archive, but the link to the cgi
script seems to be broken at

Forgive my probably unforgivable ignorance.
What are Boolean operators?
