Description

It would be great if each package could define its own macros for documentation. Currently these are the default:

Research direction

Start by reading the default macro definitions in M2/Macaulay2/m2/html.m2 at lines 22-29 and trace how package documentation uses them. Determine where package-specific definitions could be supplied and how they would be selected. Done means individual packages can define documentation macros without changing the defaults.
