WML is defined by a set of elements that specify all markup and structural information for a WML
deck. Elements are identified by tags, which are each enclosed in a pair of angle brackets.
Unlike HTML, WML strictly adheres to the XML hierarchical structure, and thus, elements must contain a start tag; any content such as text and/or other elements; and an end tag. Elements have one of the following two structures:
<tag> content </tag> : This form is identical to HTML.
<tag />: This is used when an element cannot contain visible content or is empty, such as a line break. WML document's prolog part does not have any element which has closing element.
Following table lists the majority of valid elements. A complete detail of all these elements is given in WML Tags Reference.
