        #   Pass 4: support tag
        <m4> ... </m4>

        #   Pass 4: symbols
        <symbol name value>
        <symbol name undef>

        #   Pass 5: diversions

        #   Client-Side JavaScript: support tag
        <javascript [version=..] [language=..]

        ...
        </javascript>

        #   Resynchronize line numbers for more accurate pass 3 warnings
        <sync-lines>


DESCRIPTION
       This include file defines some standard support tags one needs all the time.  All tags are
       self-explanatory and briefly mentioned in wml_intro(1), except the last two which are
       described below.

   "<javascript>":
       This tag was primarily a shorthand for "<script type="text/javascript"
       language="JavaScript">" but it has evolved.  If the "<head>" tag is defined and is a
       complex macro, e.g. when calling "wml::std::page", then Javascript code is automatically
       passed to this macro and should be diverted to the HEAD section of HTML documents.  This
       diversion preserve lang slices in multi-lingual documents.  Those features may be disabled
       by the ``nohead'' and ``nolang'' attributes.

   "<sync-lines>":
       WML tries to print information on input file and line numbers when warnings or errors are
       reported in passes 2 and 3.  Some special sentences containing file names and line numbers
       are inserted during pass 1. So pass 2 have an accurate knowledge of where warnings appear
       in input file.  But it also filters it without preserving lines, so after pass 2
       information is almost unusable.  By putting "<sync-lines>" in input file, it forces pass 2
       to resynchronize information on line numbers.  So for debugging pass 3, it could be of
       some help to insert "<sync-lines>" before ePerl code.
