Pages

To set the stage for the next chapter on markup algebra, we must introduce fetching a page from the Web and mapping the page into structures compatible with the WebL language. Although we cannot give a thorough overview of the Web protocols and formats involved in this process, we present a short tutorial to introduce the particular vocabulary used in WebL. Thus the most of this chapter is a review of things that might be known to many readers. However, the chapter does contain important information and definitions that will be required in the following chapters.

Basic Protocol Terminology

Markup
