+ introduced after `POSIX.1-2001` (the `-u` option, introduced in
+ `POSIX.1-2008`).

Output wrapping can be entirely disabled by adding a

+It will not be performed on outputs whose root elements are
+ `<书社:archive>`, `<书社:base64-binary>`, or `<书社:raw-text>`
+ (described below), or on result trees which do not contain a toplevel
+ element in the H·T·M·L namespace.
+
+## Applying Attributes
+
+The `<书社:apply-attributes>` element will apply any attributes on the
+ element to the element(s) it wraps.
+It is especially useful in combination with embeds.
+
+The `<书社:apply-attributes-to-root>` element will apply any attributes
+ on the element to the root node of the final transformation result.
+It is especially useful in combination with output wrapping.
+
+In both cases, attributes from various sources are combined with
+ white·space between them.
+Attribute application takes place after each stage of the
+ transformation, including after the initial embedding phase.
+
+Both elements ignore attributes in the `xml:` name·space, except for
+ `@xml:lang`, which ignores all but the first definition (including
+ any already present on the root element).
+On H·T·M·L and S·V·G elements, `@lang` has the same behaviour as
+ `@xml:lang`.
+
+## Other Kinds of Output
+
+There are a few special elements in the `书社:` name·space which, if
+ they appear as the toplevel element in a transformation result, cause
+ ⛩📰 书社 to produce something other than an X·M·L file.
+They are :—
+
+- **`<书社:archive>`:**
+ Each child element with a `@书社:archived-as` attribute will be
+ archived as a separate file in a resulting tarball (this attribute
+ gives the file name).
+ These elements will be processed the same as the root elements of any
+ other file (e·g, they will be wrapped; they can themselves specify
+ non X·M·L output types, ⁊·c).
+ Other child elements will be ignored.
+
+ If the `<书社:archive>` element is given an `@书社:expanded`
+ attribute, rather than producing a tarball ⛩📰 书社 will output
+ the directory which expanding the tarball would produce.
+ This mechanism can be used to generate multiple files from a single
+ source, provided all of the files are contained with·in the same
+ directory.
+
+- **`<书社:base64-binary>`:**
+ The text nodes in the transformation result will, after removing all
+ Ascii whitespace, be treated as a Base·64 string, which is then
+ decoded.
+
+- **`<书社:raw-text>`:**
+ A plaintext (U·T·F‐8) file will be produced from the text nodes in
+ the transformation result.
