<h2>*TERMINAL-MARKUP-TABLE*</h2>a <a href="MARKUP.html">markup</a> table used for printing to the terminal
<pre>Major Section:  <a href="DOCUMENTATION.html">DOCUMENTATION</a>
</pre><p>

The value of the ACL2 constant <code>*terminal-markup-table*</code> is an association
list pairing <a href="MARKUP.html">markup</a> keys with strings, to be used for printing to the
terminal.  See <a href="MARKUP.html">markup</a> for a description of the ACL2 <a href="MARKUP.html">markup</a> language.
<p>
The entries in <code>*terminal-markup-table*</code> are of the form

<pre>
(key . fmt-string)
</pre>

where <code>key</code> is one of the <a href="DOC-STRING.html">doc-string</a> tilde directives
(see <a href="MARKUP.html">markup</a>), and <code>fmt-string</code> is a string as expected by the
ACL2 printing function <code><a href="FMT.html">fmt</a></code>.  The system arranges that for any
<code>arg</code>, when an expression ~key[arg] is encountered by the
<a href="DOCUMENTATION.html">documentation</a> printer, <code><a href="FMT.html">fmt</a></code> will print <code>fmt-string</code> in the
association list where <code>#\a</code> is bound to <code>arg</code> and <code>#\A</code> is
bound to the result of applying the function <code><a href="STRING-UPCASE.html">string-upcase</a></code> to
<code>arg</code>.<p>

It is possible to implement tools in ACL2 for printing <a href="DOCUMENTATION.html">documentation</a>
to other than the terminal.  In fact, such tools exist for Texinfo
and for HTML.  For now, discussion of this capability is beyond the
scope of the present topic.
