9.9.2 Markup rules for publishing

muse-publish-markup-regexps

List of markup rules for publishing a page with Muse.

The rules given in this variable are invoked first, followed by whatever rules are specified by the current style.

Each member of the list is either a function, or a list of the following form.

     (REGEXP/SYMBOL TEXT-BEGIN-GROUP REPLACEMENT-TEXT/FUNCTION/SYMBOL)

• REGEXP A regular expression, or symbol whose value is a regular expression, which is searched for using `re-search-forward'.
• TEXT-BEGIN-GROUP The matching group within that regexp which denotes the beginning of the actual text to be marked up.
• REPLACEMENT-TEXT A string that will be passed to `replace-match'.

  If it is not a string, but a function, it will be called to determine what the replacement text should be (it must return a string). If it is a symbol, the value of that symbol should be a string.

The replacements are done in order, one rule at a time. Writing the regular expressions can be a tricky business. Note that case is never ignored. `case-fold-search' is always bound to nil while processing the markup rules.
