use x-large instead of 100 in the markup example. (#142355, Doug Quale).
Mon Jun 21 14:42:02 2004 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com> * docs/pango_markup.sgml: use x-large instead of 100 in the markup example. (#142355, Doug Quale). Fix the 'size' documentation to say 1024ths rather than 1000ths. Document using font_desc='12.5' instead.
