+Removes the space between its argument and the following macro.
 Its syntax is as follows:
 .Pp
 .D1 .Pf Ar prefix macro arguments ...
 .Pp
 This is equivalent to:
 .Pp
-.D1 .No Ar prefix No \&Ns Ar macro arguments ...
+.D1 .No \e& Ns Ar prefix No \&Ns Ar macro arguments ...
+.Pp
+The
+.Ar prefix
+argument is not parsed for macro names or delimiters,
+but used verbatim as if it were escaped.
 .Pp
 Examples:
 .Dl ".Pf $ Ar variable_name"
+.Dl ".Pf . Ar macro_name"
 .Dl ".Pf 0x Ar hex_digits"
 .Pp
