Website Meta Language

About Website Meta Language

WML is very complicated. It bills itself as a product for web developers who prefer to program and it does a lot more than just edit the web pages for you. It works with all the files in your site to generate the HTML rather than build them. The website has not been updated since 2006, so this program may no longer be supported.
