Examples

<punctuation marks="all" placement="internal">
  <p>All punctuation marks in the source text have been retained and represented using the
appropriate Unicode code point. In cases where a punctuation mark and nearby markup convey
the same information (for example, a sentence ends with a question mark and is also tagged
as<gi>s</gi>) the punctuation mark is captured as content within the element.</p>
</punctuation>
