A "markup" language is based on the classic RUNOFF text processor.  It
would  encompass variations such as NROFF, TROFF, TeX, and GMLS
(whatever that is).

Using a markup language, you code commands that direct the processing
of the  text: page layout, paragraph indentation, etc.  YOu see the
final product  only after you have run the marked up text through the
markup processor.

The Select and Freestyle word processors are hybrids in that you see
the  "markup" (formatting) commands as well as a pretty close
rendition of the  final product.  WordPerfect is considered a WYSIWYG
program, altho you can  see the formatting commands by use of the
Reveal Codes command.

Does anybody out there know why my LA50 gets the paper knocked off the
sprokets anytime the paper-fold passes under the little bar in front
of the roller. Any suggestion is welcome.
