Authoring language

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable software stub. Marked for references and notability since May 2010. Contested prod. A number of researchers call their programming languages an "authoring language" (which seems to mean "a language something gets written in") but term is hugely problematic since the only widely-known "authoring language" is DIAL from the w3c, which isn't a programming language but a mark up language.

 * Merge with authoring system. This is a long-standing term, and TUTOR (programming language) of course the historical important one. Not sure there are enough others to merit an article. W Nowicki (talk) 20:50, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
