WML means WordPress Markup Language and is a special, for WordPress developed language. It’s structured like HTML and helps you to build up frontends for WordPress in an incredible speed. Don’t think about how to add menus, pages, tabs, forms and many more. Just use WML and feel free in developing for WordPress.

You just have to know how to get started with the framework. After that, see the section below.

Using WML

To use WML you have to activate the framework. The following example script shows you a first WML script.

       <tabs>
         <tab title="Tab 1">

         </tab>
         <tab title="Tab 2">

Add your PHP code. Use Action Hooks!

WML can not provide all your needs in customizing your scripts. It needs the PHP scripting part to get the full functionality part. For that you can use the auto generated action hooks WML is providing you. Just take a separate look into the WML Tags. There is described, which action hooks you can use with the WML Tag.
