Z Format

 

Z Format

The Z format is an open, and freely available document and typesetting language, coded by David H. Kristensen and Dan Ponte from the Z Initiative.

Z is loosely based on XML and SGML standards, and inspired by TeX, but preserving the ease of use, without compromising functionality.

Z supports CSS through the implementation of formatting areas, although z2html is currently the only one of the tools to recognize that support.
