LegalHTML

LegalHTML was an experimental extension of HTML for representing the structure, semantics and consolidation of legal acts. 

LegalHTML is no longer maintained or developed, as it has been superseded by HTML4EU, the Publication Office’s standardised HTML format for disseminating EU legal and related documents.
