Benefits of Switchplane Markup Language

SML provides a number of unique benefits:

  1. Enhanced content
  2. Similar to HTML - easy to learn
  3. Guaranteed W3C standards compliance
  4. Guaranteed cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility

What is enhanced content?

SML has a range of special tags which allow the administrator to generate enhanced content. For example, using the <isloggedin> and <isloggedout> tags allows you to display different content depending on whether the user is logged in to your website:

<ifloggedin>
<p>Welcome back!</p>
</ifloggedin>

<ifloggedout>
<p>Nice to meet you!</p>
</ifloggedout>

In this example, if the user is logged in, they will see "Welcome back!". If they are not logged in, they will see "Nice to meet you!".

Similarity with HTML

Rather than forcing you to learn a new technology, SML is very similar to HTML, making it easy to learn and providing excellent compatibility with HTML documents.

Guaranteed Standards Compliance, Cross-Browser and Cross-Platform Compatibility

It a legal requirement that your website is accessible. The HTML content which we generate from your SML has been designed to comply with accessibility guidelines - you can be sure that all users can access your content regardless of disability.

When the page is generated, the content management system parses the SML and converts it into HTML. This allows us to guarantee that the HTML is generated in a certain way, enforcing standards compliance and compatibility with all browsers and all platforms.

This includes mobile phones, PDAs, screen readers, the usual browsers such as IE and Firefox, Windows, Linux and MacOS.
