Document metadata

Information about the document can be set via functions. These functions should conventionally be called at the beginning of a Quarkdown source.

Name	Accepts	Default
.docname	The name of the document.	Untitled Quarkdown Document
.docauthor	The author(s) of the document.	(none)
.doctype	Type of output document: plain, slides, paged.	plain
.doclang	Language of the document: either a case-insensitive English full name (e.g. English, Italian, French (Canada)) or a IETF BCP 47 language tag (e.g. en, it, fr-CA). This defines the target locale to localize strings to, and also sets HTML's lang attribute, which enhances accessibility. See Localization for more.	(none)

All these functions have a 'modify or echo' behavior: if the value is not passed as an argument, then they return the previously set value. Example:

.docname {Quarkdown}

This document is called **.docname**!

This document is called Quarkdown!
