Here's the WML spec in PDF:

Here's a WAP emulator:

The concept is that you would prepare your documents in an XML format.
The XML will then be processed to generate both HTML and WML, and
hopefully PDF too.  But you can just write WML directly, of course.

The big difference between WML and HTML is the support for very small
screens. WML has cards instead of pages - one web page would be divided
into several cards. It demands good design if the users are not to be
confused.

I suspect a good way to design a WML site might be to actually use the
old library index cards. Remember Hypercard?

I haven't written any WML yet, but I'm studying the spec. It _is_ going to
be big.
