Editing Question mark (section)

==Scope==
In English, the question mark typically occurs at the end of a sentence, where it replaces the [[full stop]] (period).  However, the question mark may also occur at the end of a clause or phrase, where it replaces the comma {{crossreference|(see also [[Question comma]])}}:

:"Is it good in form? style? meaning?"
or:
:"Showing off for him, for all of them, not out of hubris—hubris? him? what did he have to be hubrid about?—but from mood and nervousness."

This is quite common in [[Spanish (language)|Spanish]], where the use of bracketing question marks explicitly indicates the scope of interrogation.

:{{lang|es|En el caso de que no puedas ir con ellos, ¿quieres ir con nosotros?}} ('In case you cannot go with them, would you like to go with us?')

A question mark may also appear immediately after questionable data, such as dates:
:''Genghis Khan (1162?–1227)''
