   .Ss XML Filter
   The XML filter, specified by
   .Fl f Ar xml ,
   is the default filter.  This filter has no additional arguments.
   .Pp
   The XML filter creates an XML document where element names are their respective
   roff macro names.  Each element name has an associated
   namespace, which is one of
   .Qq block ,
   .Qq head ,
   .Qq body ,
   or
   .Qq inline ,
   corresponding to the display mode of a node.  The document root is
   always the
   .Qq mdoc
   element, in the default namespace; the
   .Qq head
   namespace is for block headers (such as
   .Sq .Ss
   and
   .Sq .Sh ) ;
   the
   .Qq body
   namespace is for block bodies; and the
   .Qq inline
   namespace is for in-line elements (such as
   .Sq .Em ) .
   .Ss HTML Filter
   The HTML filter, specified by

   accepts the following filter-specific arguments:
