The only difference was the limited markup language. -## WML or Wireless Markup Language +## WML - Wireless Markup Language Just like web browsers use HTML for content structure, older mobile device browsers use WML - if you need to support really old mobile phones using WML browsers, you will need to know about it. WML is XML-based (an XML vocabulary just like XHTML and MathML, but not HTML) and does not use the same metaphor as HTML. HTML is a single document with some metadata packed away in the head, and a body encapsulating the visible page. With WML, the metaphor does not envisage a page, but rather a deck of cards. A WML file might have several pages or cards contained within it. [(source)](https://www.w3.org/wiki/Introduction_to_mobile_web) -- cgit v1.2.3
