XBRL
Think of a librarian “marking up” the back binding of a book with a classification code such as a Dewey Decimal code or a Library of Congress Code.
The marked up book code allows librarians to place the book among topic-related books in the stacks.
The marked up book code allows patrons to easily find both a given book and related books on a topic.

XBRL
The AICPA and many large companies and Wall Street first carried the ball by developing a set of standards for XBRL tagging so that within a designated GAAP such as US GAAP, tagged data would be comparable between different companies.http://www.xbrl.org/Home/
The SEC took the lead in the tremendously costly effort of encouraging/requiring companies to mark up SEC registration reports with XBRL tags. There are various software packages available for marking up XBRL tags. One of the popular software alternatives is called Dragon Tag from Rivet Software --- http://www.rivetsoftware.com/

Two Types of Financial Analysis
Fundamental analysis maintains that markets may misprice a security in the short run but that the "correct" price will eventually be reached. Profits can be made by trading the mispriced security and then waiting for the market to recognize its "mistake" and reprice the security.
Technical analysis maintains that all information is reflected already in the stock price, so fundamental analysis is a waste of time. Trends 'are your friend' and sentiment changes predate and predict trend changes. Investors' emotional responses to price movements lead to recognizable price chart patterns. Technical analysis does not care what the 'value' of a stock is. Their price predictions are only extrapolations from historical price patterns.
