% man xo_finish

   Calling this function is vital to the proper operation of libxo,
   especially for the non-TEXT output styles.

Note, the word "vital" is underlined in xterm for emphasis.


PS:  To whomever is responsible for libxo, some (most?) libxo
manpages have the wrong NAME information.  For example, 

% man xo_finish

LIBXO(3)               FreeBSD Library Functions Manual               LIBXO(3)

NAME
     xo_emit - emit formatted output based on format string and arguments

% man xo_attr

LIBXO(3)               FreeBSD Library Functions Manual               LIBXO(3)

NAME
     xo_emit - emit formatted output based on format string and arguments

% man xo_create

LIBXO(3)               FreeBSD Library Functions Manual               LIBXO(3)

NAME
     xo_emit - emit formatted output based on format string and arguments
