+Markup language
+---------------
+
+Markup language used in `hypertext[]` elements uses tag that look like HTML tags. Some
+tags can enclose text, they open with `<tagname>` and close with `</tagname>`.
+Tags can have attributes, in that case, attributes are in the opening tag in
+form of a key/value separated with equal signs. Attribute values should not be quoted.
+
+These are the technically basic tags but see below for usual tags. Base tags are:
+
+`<style color=... font=... size=...>...</style>`
+
+Changes the style of the text.
+
+* `color`: Text color. Given color is a `colorspec`.
+* `size`: Text size.
+* `font`: Text font (`mono` or `normal`).
+
+`<global background=... margin=... valign=... color=... hovercolor=... size=... font=... halign=... >`
+
+Sets global style.
+
+Global only styles:
+* `background`: Text background, a `colorspec` or `none`.
+* `margin`: Page margins in pixel.
+* `valign`: Text vertical alignment (`top`, `middle`, `bottom`).
+
+Inheriting styles (affects child elements):
+* `color`: Default text color. Given color is a `colorspec`.
+* `hovercolor`: Color of <action> tags when mouse is over.
+* `size`: Default text size.
+* `font`: Default text font (`mono` or `normal`).
+* `halign`: Default text horizontal alignment (`left`, `right`, `center`, `justify`).
+
+This tag needs to be placed only once as it changes the global settings of the
+text. Anyway, if several tags are placed, each changed will be made in the order
+tags appear.
+
+`<tag name=... color=... hovercolor=... font=... size=...>`
+
+Defines or redefines tag style. This can be used to define new tags.
+* `name`: Name of the tag to define or change.
+* `color`: Text color. Given color is a `colorspec`.
+* `hovercolor`: Text color when element hovered (only for `action` tags). Given color is a `colorspec`.
+* `size`: Text size.
+* `font`: Text font (`mono` or `normal`).
+
+Following tags are the usual tags for text layout. They are defined by default.
+Other tags can be added using `<tag ...>` tag.
+
+`<normal>...</normal>`: Normal size text
+
+`<big>...</big>`: Big text
+
+`<bigger>...</bigger>`: Bigger text
+
+`<center>...</center>`: Centered text
+
+`<left>...</left>`: Left-aligned text
+
+`<right>...</right>`: Right-aligned text
+
+`<justify>...</justify>`: Justified text
+
+`<mono>...</mono>`: Monospaced font
+
+`<b>...</b>`, `<i>...</i>`, `<u>...</u>`: Bold, italic, underline styles.
+
+`<action name=...>...</action>`
+
+Make that text a clickable text triggering an action.
+
+* `name`: Name of the action (mandatory).
+
+When clicked, the formspec is send to the server. The value of the text field
+sent to `on_player_receive_fields` will be "action:" concatenated to the action
+name.
+
+`<img name=... float=... width=... height=...>`
+
+Draws an image which is present in the client media cache.
+
+* `name`: Name of the texture (mandatory).
+* `float`: If present, makes the image floating (`left` or `right`).
+* `width`: Force image width instead of taking texture width.
+* `height`: Force image height instead of taking texture height.
+
+If only width or height given, texture aspect is kept.
+
+`<item name=... float=... width=... height=... rotate=...>`
+
+Draws an item image.
+
+* `name`: Item string of the item to draw (mandatory).
+* `float`: If present, makes the image floating (`left` or `right`).
+* `width`: Item image width.
+* `height`: Item image height.
+* `rotate`: Rotate item image if set to `yes` or `X,Y,Z`. X, Y and Z being
+rotation speeds in percent of standard speed (-1000 to 1000). Works only if
+`inventory_items_animations` is set to true.
+* `angle`: Angle in which the item image is shown. Value has `X,Y,Z` form.
+X, Y and Z being angles around each three axes. Works only if
+`inventory_items_animations` is set to true.
