    Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A simple set of macros to provide markup devices (currently only grohtml)
with tags that define the meaning of the formatted text and also
basic formatting instructions.  It generalizes the tag concept used within
grohtml and in the future it is hoped that more markup based devices
can capitalize on this work.  It also clearly defines those tags which are
honoured by grohtml.  Note that not all tags are included here.  Some
of the grohtml specific tags (header specific and jobname, etc.) are
called directly from within www.tmac.  The tags defined here are
reasonably generic and could be applied to other devices.
