WML

Wireless Markup Language (WML), is an XML based language designed to be a lite version of HTML for mobile devices. It was first known as HDML (Handheld Devices Markup Languages). WML is part of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and is specifically devised for small screens and one-hand navigation without a keyboard. WML is scalable from two-line text displays up through graphic screens found on items such as smart phones and communicators.

The official WML specification is developed and maintained by the WAP Forum, an industry-wide consortium founded by Nokia, Phone.com, Motorola, and Ericsson. This specification defines the syntax, variables, and elements used in a valid WML file.

If you are familiar with writing HTML and have worked with XML, you should have no trouble grasping WML as language to develop web sites in.
