 ## Behavior of result_out_of_range
 
 When parsing floating-point values, the numbers can sometimes be too small (e.g., `1e-1000`) or
-too large (e.g., `1e1000`). In such cases, it is customary to parse small values to zero and large
-values to infinity. That is the behaviour followed by the fast_float library.
