Inter Shop Markup Language


ISML, an initialism of InterShop Markup Language, is a markup language for web pages. It is provided by Intershop. The Enfinity suite framework, provided by Intershop, uses templates to generate static and dynamic web pages. When the user sends some request regarding some page, the request is sent to a server. In Enfinity suite, pipelines receive those requests and react to them with certain predefined processes. One of those processes is to hand over a requested data to a specific template for generating response page.

To accommodate dynamic content, Intershop developed ISML as an extension to the HTML. Dynamic content is based on information stored in pipeline dictionary and are added to the page at the time the response is actually generated.

Famous quotes containing the words shop and/or language:

    A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street,
    Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
    Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
    Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder’s gone,
    I must lie down where all the ladders start,
    In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words.... Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
