! 228: <p>Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project
! 229: (but usable outside of the Gnome platform), it is free software available
! 230: under the <a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html">MIT
! 231: License</a>. XML itself is a metalanguage to design markup languages, i.e.
! 232: text language where semantic and structure are added to the content using
! 233: extra "markup" information enclosed between angle brackets. HTML is the most
! 234: well-known markup language. Though the library is written in C <a href="python.html">a variety of language bindings</a> make it available in
! 235: other environments.</p>
! 236: <p>Libxml2 is known to be very portable, the library should build and work
! 237: without serious troubles on a variety of systems (Linux, Unix, Windows,
! 238: CygWin, MacOS, MacOS X, RISC Os, OS/2, VMS, QNX, MVS, VxWorks, ...)</p>
! 239: <p>Libxml2 implements a number of existing standards related to markup

! 263: <p>In most cases libxml2 tries to implement the specifications in a

! 266: Suite</a>.</p>
! 267: <p>To some extent libxml2 provides support for the following additional
