Ok.

Ok.

Not ok, but there is an error few lines above, it should be:
    $markup_code = &{$func}($markup_code, $CFG, $select);

No, you may either try wmk or use Makefiles.
In any case, did you try wmd?  It helps a lot browsing documentation.

Sure, Ralf did write very nice documentation, but I must say I did not 
try to improve it, because I feel unable to write good documentation.
And I believe that documentation is much more useful when it is written
by users and not developers (this is true for programs I develop, and is
of course wrong with the ones I am using ;o)).
