XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a foundational language that can be used to define how different parts of an ebook will be structured for different formats. The goal of using XML is to create digital content first rather than manipulate print-ready files for digital devices. Other XML benefits include the ability to relate similar content in and across ebooks and the flexibility to adapt to emerging device formats.
