Spanish term

marcado de texto

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng e-reader technology
Spain: article on e-readers. "El acceso al MARCADO DE TEXTO, cuando lo permite el aparato, y a otros comandos suele ser igualmente insatisfactoria." Researching this, I find that "text markup" appears almost always as "text markup language." Is that what this means, probably? Many thanks.

Lesley Jackson (X) (asker) Apr 5, 2010:
But is it ONLY highlighting? Or does it refer to other things you can do with text in these devices? I'm wondering if I should just translate this as "text marking" or "text markup" -- which could take in various things. I wish I had experience with an e-reader... I've never used one.

Lesley, Yes, that's what I meant to say.

Hi, Leonardo. "Enhancement" meaning what... like highlighting?

It´s just an idea, maybe the text refers to this. Have a look at this review on e-readers
