Do you know of any good reference for ALL Genesis framework related code?
For instance, I can find a list of all the main hooks (in Genesis user area) but things like 'genesis_header_markup_open' appear thin on the ground when it comes to documentation...
How the heck do I find out about all the intricate and essential details like this?! : )
p.s. I found this which is very cool http://genesis.wp-a2z.org Though thought I'd leave this question here in case there are other resources anyone knows about and uses which could be helpful.

Treehouse Guest TeacherThe StudioPress site lists all of them. There is a visual hook guide you can Google for. This is a great tool, but Gary tells me it's a temporary URL while 2.2 is in beta: http://docs.gamajo.com/genesis/2.2.0-beta/
Update: It looks like the question updated as I answered. Hooks don't really need documentation further than where they appear. The visual hooks page has a bit more detail, but if you want to pick things apart, you need to buy a guide from GaryJ (above) or pick apart the theme files or look things up at that URL of his. It's a great teaching tool to see what is included in what hooks.

10,256 PointsThanks for your answers guys! I probably should have phrased my question a bit more specifically : )
I've used the visual hook guide a lot in the past and its very helpful, what I'm really interested in are all the intricacies which seem a little 'black box' and not very well documented or discoverable unless you're 'on the inside' of the project.
Like 'genesis_header_markup_open' and 'genesis_header_markup_close', I'm sure there are more 'hidden' things like this which are useful for cutting fat and avoiding hacks when working with a framework like Genesis.
Correct me if I'm wrong but these simply aren't documented in Genesis at all, which seems odd?! To confirm this I did a search in http://my.studiopress.com for 'genesis_header_markup_open' = no results.

The founder of Genesis is holding workshops that promise to do just that amongst other things. Located here, http://my.studiopress.com/workshops/
