We are currently working on new rules for what content should and shouldn't be allowed on this website, and are looking for feedback! See Esolang:2026 topicality proposal to view and give feedback on the current draft.
MarkupL
MarkupL is the gaian HTML, but it's more of a beginer-freindly version of Interactive Script so that there would be more webdevs in Gaia. The language was created by the Interactive Script team
Syntax
- This section is still a work in progress. It may be changed in the future.
MarkupL syntax
MarkupL doesn't have a paragraph tag. Which isn't that big of a deal since you can literally just add a end of line tag (or |el) to make a new line or use the id> tag:
1: id="smth">"a"|el
translated into html:
<p id="smth">a</p>
And don't forget to add another virtic (|) if you need to add another string next to it, otherwise it won't work:
1: "a"|el|"b"
translated into html:
<p>a</p>b
MarkupL add-ons
1: <style>...|}
Interactive Script:
1: <behave>...|}
Examples
Hello, world!
1: "Hello, world!"
translated into html:
Hello, world!
Cat program
1: <field type="multi" id="i">input</field><button text="submit" pushaction="main{}">|el|id="o">""
2: <behave>make main[]{i=get("i")|set("o".ML,i)}|}
translated into html:
<script>function main(){i=document.getElementById("i").value;document.getElementById("o").innerHTML=i}</script>
<textarea id="i" placeholder="input"></textarea><button onclick="main()">submit</button><br>
<textarea id="o" placeholder="output" readonly></textarea>
