 /// Generally, ``MarkupWalker`` is best for walking a ``Markup`` tree if the ``Result`` type is `Void` or is built up some other way, or ``MarkupRewriter`` for recursively changing a tree's structure. This type serves as a common interface to both. However, for building up other structured result types you can implement ``MarkupVisitor`` directly.
