Wireless Markup Language WML is a standard based on the Handheld Device Markup Language (HDML), which in turn is a subset of HTML. WML works with a subset of HTML to deliver a limited subset of markup properties with web text, based on the W3C's guidelines for mobile access. Webmasters have to design WML templates for the presentation of their data to WML devices. Some of these pages are flat files, of course, but more often they are templates for the presentation of dynamic data. Mapquest, for example, has a template that serves only the driving directions of a map, while offering an option to have a graphical map faxed to a nearby machine.
To allow Apache servers to work with WML release 1.1 specification the following mime types should be added:
# WAP v1.1 content text/vnd.wap.wml .wml text/vnd.wap.wmls .wmls application/vnd.wap.wmlc .wmlc application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc .wmlsc image/vnd.wap.wbmp .wbmp
