Markers in Markdown++ provide metadata and processing instructions that can be embedded in your output documents. ePublisher gives you control over which markers are emitted in the generated Markdown++ output.

GraphicStyle

Specifies graphic formatting information from the source document.

IndexMarker

Creates index entries that can be used for generating back-of-book style indexes.

Controlling Marker Emission

Disabling Markers Per Style
