Everything except #2.  There are two tags <camera> and </camera>.  There is
one element <camera>Nikon D40</camera>.

I also use the expression "I tagged the data".

"wrap data in tags"?


Hi Folks,

Consider this data:

    Nikon D40

Here I did "something" to the data:

    <camera>Nikon D40</camera>


Which is preferred way of expressing what I did to the data:

1. I marked up the data.

2. I wrapped the data in a tag.

3. I wrapped the data in tags.

4. I wrapped the data in a start-tag/end-tag pair.

5. I wrapped the data in markup.

6. I embedded the data in markup.

7. I enclosed the data in markup.

Or some other way?


I suspect that several of the above expressions are acceptable; which
ones?  

Are some of the above expressions just plain wrong, i.e. incorrect
English grammar?


/Roger
