Do we need an @warning somewhere then?

if so (or if something else) let me know where (or create a doc tracker).

Could someone for the 'not fully understanding' give me an example of the 'special situation' stated above -

There is a somewhat special situation when they occur at
the _start_ of where a markup list is expected: in that case, they are
applied to _every_ element of the following markup list.

It seems this is one of semantics/definition at least for me.

\markup I understand as the top level in this case, but 'intermediary' I'm not so sure. For instance it seems that there is a difference between \bold and \*line markup 'qualifiers'.

I cannot think or workout how to differentiate between them

\markup \bold \wordwrap-lines {} fails

\markup \bold \centre-column {} is ok

\markup \centre-column \bold {} is ok too.

:/
