The macro package distributed with YODL is described in
this chapter. The macro package consists of a number of definition files,
which convert a Yodl document that follows a certain syntax to an output
format. The main output formats, currently supported, are:
    itemization(
    it() HTML;
    it() LaTeX (plain LaTeX, no tt(latex2e));
    it() The tt(groff) `man' format which is used for man pages;
    it() The tt(groff) `ms' format which is more expressive;
    it() Basic, plain text 
    )

    The following conversion format is in an experimental stage:
    itemization(
    it() XML, as used by the University of Groningen's so-called
`webplatform'. 
    )

    Currently discontinued conversion formats are:
    itemization(
    it() SGML, although the basic macros are available. SGML can probably be
reactivated fairly quickly. Contact the maintainer if support for SGML should
be reinstated
    it() texinfo, mainly due to the fact that the current maintainer doesn't
know what the required em(post-processing) actions are.
    it() tely, since this conversion format is unknown to the current
maintainer.
    )

    Other formats may be available, but maybe in an unstable state. Contact
the the maintainer if you have a new format to add, or want to reanimate
formats that were previously available.
