27 .Sh DESCRIPTION
28 This page documents the special characters and predefined strings accepted by
29 .Xr mandoc 1
30 to format
31 .Xr mdoc 7
32 and
33 .Xr man 7
34 documents.
35 .
36 .Pp
37 Both
38 .Xr mdoc 7
39 and
40 .Xr man 7
41 encode special characters with
42 .Sq \eX
43 .Pq for a one-character escape ,
44 .Sq \e(XX
45 .Pq two-character ,
46 and
47 .Sq \e[N]
48 .Pq N-character .
49 One may generalise
50 .Sq \e(XX
51 as
52 .Sq \e[XX]
53 and
54 .Sq \eX
55 as
56 .Sq \e[X] .
57 Predefined strings are functionally similar to special characters, using
58 .Sq \e*X
59 .Pq for a one-character escape ,
60 .Sq \e*(XX
61 .Pq two-character ,
62 and
63 .Sq \e*[N]
64 .Pq N-character .
65 One may generalise
66 .Sq \e*(XX
67 as
68 .Sq \e*[XX]
69 and
70 .Sq \e*X
71 as
72 .Sq \e*[X] .
73 .
74 .Pp
75 Note that each output mode will have a different rendering of the
76 characters.
77 It's guaranteed that each input symbol will correspond to a
78 (more or less) meaningful output rendering, regardless the mode.
79 .

82 These are the preferred input symbols for producing special characters.
