-.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
-.Xr mdoc 7 ,
-however, these rules are also applied to macro arguments when appropriate.
