.Sh OUTPUT |
|
This section documents output details of |
|
.Nm . |
|
In general, output conforms to the traditional manual style of a header, |
|
a body composed of sections and sub-sections, and a footer. |
|
.Pp |
|
The text style of output characters (non-macro characters, punctuation, |
|
and white-space) is dictated by context. |
|
.Pp |
|
White-space is generally stripped from input. |
|
This can be changed with |
|
character escapes (specified in |
|
.Xr mandoc_char 7 ) |
|
or literal modes (specified in |
|
.Xr mdoc 7 |
|
and |
|
.Xr man 7 ) . |
|
.Pp |
|
If non-macro punctuation is set apart from words, such as in the phrase |
|
.Dq to be \&, or not to be , |
|
it's processed by |
|
.Nm , |
|
regardless of output format, according to the following rules: opening |
|
punctuation |
|
.Po |
|
.Sq \&( , |
|
.Sq \&[ , |
|
and |
|
.Sq \&{ |
|
.Pc |
|
is not followed by a space; closing punctuation |
|
.Po |
|
.Sq \&. , |
|
.Sq \&, , |
|
.Sq \&; , |
|
.Sq \&: , |
|
.Sq \&? , |

.Sq \&! , |

.Sq \&) , |
|
.Sq \&] |
|
and |
|
.Sq \&} |
|
.Pc |
|
is not preceded by white-space. |
|
.Pp |
|
If the input is |

however, these rules are also applied to macro arguments when appropriate. |
