**Inheritance:**
java.lang.Object
```
public class ShapeMarkupLanguage
```

Specifies Markup language used for the shape.

 **Examples:** 

Shows how to set an OOXML compliance specification for a saved document to adhere to.

```

 Document doc = new Document();
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 // If we configure compatibility options to comply with Microsoft Word 2003,
 // inserting an image will define its shape using VML.
 doc.getCompatibilityOptions().optimizeFor(MsWordVersion.WORD_2003);
 builder.insertImage(getImageDir() + "Transparent background logo.png");

 Assert.assertEquals(ShapeMarkupLanguage.VML, ((Shape) doc.getChild(NodeType.SHAPE, 0, true)).getMarkupLanguage());

 // The "ISO/IEC 29500:2008" OOXML standard does not support VML shapes.
 // If we set the "Compliance" property of the SaveOptions object to "OoxmlCompliance.Iso29500_2008_Strict",
 // any document we save while passing this object will have to follow that standard.
 OoxmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new OoxmlSaveOptions();
 saveOptions.setCompliance(OoxmlCompliance.ISO_29500_2008_STRICT);
 saveOptions.setSaveFormat(SaveFormat.DOCX);

 doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "OoxmlSaveOptions.Iso29500Strict.docx", saveOptions);

 // Our saved document defines the shape using DML to adhere to the "ISO/IEC 29500:2008" OOXML standard.
 doc = new Document(getArtifactsDir() + "OoxmlSaveOptions.Iso29500Strict.docx");

 Assert.assertEquals(ShapeMarkupLanguage.DML, ((Shape) doc.getChild(NodeType.SHAPE, 0, true)).getMarkupLanguage());
