IntermediateMarkUpType -- the class of intermediate mark-up types

Description

An intermediate mark-up type is one that needs further processing to put it into final form. A good example of one is TOH, which represents a link to a documentation node, together with the headline of that node, which may not have been created yet at the time the TOH link is encountered. Another good example is HREF, which creates a link using the HTML A element: when the link is created, the relative path to the target page depends on the path to the page incorporating the link!

Fixed objects of class IntermediateMarkUpType :

HREF -- hypertext link
LATER -- a hypertext element for lazy evaluation
LITERAL -- hypertext literal text
MENU -- hypertext menu item
TO -- hypertext documentation link
TO2 -- labeled hypertext documentation link
TOH -- hypertext documentation link followed by a headline
