I'm writing multiple pages of text and noticed that the bottom margin
wasn't being observed. I think it's because I'm placing the whole chapter
inside a \markup. I can't seem to find a cohesive explanation of \markup
all in one place. Likewise with \column, \line, \wordwrap, and \markuplist.
Explanations to RTFM would be warmly welcomed with links. Here's what I
think I know.

markup (docs
at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/formatting-text
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/formatting-text>)
Keeps everything inside its brackets on a single page, apparently. So
should pretty much be used for each paragraph, or examples in which I want
a header and paragraph, or header and illustration, all on one page?

\column  (docs at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/alignhttp://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/align
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/align>)
Observes newlines, useful with lyric stanzas, for example.

\line
Opposite of \column; keep everything on one line without wordwrap

\wordwrap
Not sure how this differs from \markup?

\markuplist
Can't find docs on this one
