Help me create a new language ETML (Emotional Text Markup Language)

Here are some tags I can think of:

<sarcasm>Yeah, this will work out for sure!</sarcasm> <anger>What do you think you are doing!</anger> <encourage>This is the best idea ever!</encourage> <happy>I am so glad this is happening.</happy> <depressed>I probably will not make any $ for this</depressed> <disappointed>Wish I had thought of this earlier</disappointed> <sad>I lost my cat.</sad> <mixed> <sad>I lost my cat</sad> <happy>My cat hated me</happy> <anger>I think my neighbor took my cat</anger> <sarcasm>I hope my cat scratches my neighbor</sarcasm> </mixed>

Hi Paul.

Have a look at Basic Emotions. In theory these are emotions that always come with a physical reaction:

journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.11...

Ekmans are those which are, to my knowledge, most commonly used in interfaces. ETML should at least cover those:

  • Happiness
  • Saddness
  • Fear
  • Anger
  • Disgust
  • Contempt
  • Surprise
