pango:parse-markup (markup marker)

markup -- a string for the parkup to parse
marker -- a character that precedes an accelerator, or 0 for none

text -- a string for the text with tags stripped
attrlist -- a pango:attr-list instance
char -- a character for the accelerator char

Parses marked-up text to create a plain-text string and an attribute list. If marker is nonzero, the given character will mark the character following it as an accelerator. For example, marker might be an ampersand or underscore. All characters marked as an accelerator will receive a :low attribute, and the first character so marked will be returned in char. Two marker characters following each other produce a single literal marker character.

If any error happens, nil is returned.
