@cindex typeset text
-The internal mechanism to typeset texts is accessed with the keyword
-@code{\markup}. Within markup mode, you can enter texts similar to
-lyrics. They are simply entered, while commands use the backslash @code{\}.
-@cindex markup
+Use @code{\markup} to typeset text. Commands are entered with the
+backslash @code{\}.

@cindex font switching
The markup in the example demonstrates font switching commands. The
command @code{\bold} and @code{\italic} apply to the first following
-word only; enclose a set of texts with braces to apply a command
-to more words:
+word only; to apply a command to more than one word, enclose the
+words with braces,
+
@example
\markup @{ \bold @{ hi there @} @}
@end example
Syntax errors for markup mode are confusing.

@cindex fermata on multi-measure rest
Texts can be added to multi-measure rests by using the
-@var{note}-@code{markup} syntax (see @ref{Text markup}).
+@var{note}-@code{markup} syntax @internalsref{Text markup}.
A variable (@code{\fermataMarkup}) is provided for
adding fermatas
@code{format-mark-letters} and @code{format-mark-box-letters}.
These can be used as inspiration for other formatting functions.
