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:
“For through the painter must you see his skill,
To find where your true image pictured lies,
Which in my bosom’s shop is hanging still,”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
