marking up

Writing on documents

Marking up is raising the price of goods above cost: They're marking up imported wines by 200%.

In publishing and web development, marking up means adding annotations or formatting codes to a document—HTML is a markup language.

Separately, marking up can mean making marks on something: The kids were marking up the walls with crayons.
