The computer science wiki defines markup languages as a "system for annotating a document that is syntactically distinguishable from the text." In this context, what is meant by "the text"? Thank you!

<tag>the text I want to change</tag>  In this case, "text" is the text that is marked up, or changed, within the opening and closing tags.

GANTT charts?

I noticed in the "teacher notes" section of the guide that we must know how to construct Gantt charts. I also saw a question asking to create one in the May 2015 paper. I had not heard of this before, and was wondering if there were other charts/visualisations we had to be aware of for either paper.

I've never seen a GANTT chart question, but I trust you. Please take a look at this example of a gantt chart. . Please look at another gantt chart here. Basically, you break down the different tasks you need to complete and list them on the left side of your spreadsheet. Each task is called a WBS, work-breakdown-structure. Then on the right side, you indicate the amount of time a task might take. Tasks can happen at the same time (in parallel) or they can depend on each other (I can't do task two until I do task 1). Often, concurrency questions include GANTT chart questions
