Marked text is used with dead keys and some input methods that compose characters from multiple keystrokes.  For example, with the U.S. keyboard layout, if you type Option-E, you get a dead acute accent (´).  If you then type "o", you get "ó".  Prior to typing the "o", the accent is "marked" to indicate that it is not final and will combine with the next character you type (if possible).  The marking consists of applying the marked-text attributes.
