Yes, it's easy.  Each markup sequence has to be given a unique name--
for most PmWiki built-in markups, the name is either the leading 
component of the markup or the name of the directory.  For example,
the name for ''emphasis'' is two single-quotes, the name for [[free links]]
is '[[', etc.

If you want to disable a markup, just call Markup() from config.php
and predefine it as a null markup:

    Markup("''", 'null');         # disables ''emphasis''
    Markup("'^", 'null');         # disables '^superscript^'
    Markup('keywords', 'null');   # disables (:keywords:)

Subsequent calls to Markup() to define any of these markups won't
override the existing null definitions, so they're effectively disabled.

The scripts/stdmarkup.php the list of PmWiki's "standard" markups,
although function-specific markups such as (:search:), (:attachlist:),
etc. are defined in their respective scripts.

This information deserves a cookbook entry.
