In this question about creating subtext, [Where in the writing process do you work in subtext?](https://writing.stackexchange.com/q/26182/23159), the question of what the word subtext means was raised. This question is to address this issue. Of course, as all good writers know, there are not enough words to go round for all the things we want to say, and thus the same word can get used for several different things, so the purpose of this question is not to create one definition to banish all other meanings, but to create the opportunity to clearly delineate the various possible meanings so that we can have a discussion about various kinds of subtext without confusion.
