I suspected something like that already, but thanks for explaining the

Now I'm lost. Maybe I'll put my question different: 1. I know that
macros are intended for output markup. 2. I assume standard markup
templates (strong, em, etc.) for different backends must be already
defined somewhere. 3. How do use these existing templates in a user
macro without rewriting them from scratch again like I did in the
example.
