Topic: WML

WML is the Wireless Markup Language, for marking up web-like content to appear on cell phones. WML content travels over the Wireless Application Protocol. Its form is similar to HTML, except with some built-in navigational features and a metaphor of a deck of cards, rather than pages, to chunk content into bite-sized pieces for mobile phones.
