X - Generated Text and Punctuation

Generated text or punctuation. Typically used when:
  • an archive decides not to have text generated on display and thus to pre-generate such things as commas or semicolons between keywords, or
  • an archive receives text with <x> tags embedded and wishes to retain them.
