That’s the previous subsection:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/writing-text

You can use a \markup block in any TextScript object (attached to
notes with -, ^ or _), any \mark or at the top level, outside of any
\score block.

\markup may also (obviously) be user in any definition inside the
\header block (e.g. title, subtitle, composer, and so on).

\header {
  title = \markup { \bold This is a \hspace #4 markup. }
}

\markup \fill-line { "" "And this." ""}

\score {
  \new Staff {
    b1_"Also, this."
    \mark \markup \italic "And this as well."
    b
  }
}
