Markup Systems and the Future of Scholarly Text Processing (11553 words)
Markup is exposed when the system shows the markup as it occurs in the source file, that is, without performing any special formatting.
Moreover, the markup selection for the termination of an element type (where necessary) is short-circuited by the convention of using a standard affix for the markup that was just selected to initiate the element.
Descriptive markup allows the targets of editing operations to be not only characters, words, and lines but also the actual text-element tokens, the regions of text that fall within the scope of a particular markup tag.
