+<h1>Output Class</h1>
+
+<p>The Output class is a small class with one main function: To send the finalized web page to the requesting browser. It is
+also responsible for <a href="../general/caching.html">caching</a> your web pages, if you use that feature.</p>
+
+<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.</p>
+
+<p>Under normal circumstances you won't even notice the Output class since it works transparently without your intervention.
+For example, when you use the <a href="../libraries/loader.html">Loader</a> class to load a view file, it's automatically
+passed to the Output class, which will be called automatically by Code Igniter at the end of system execution.
+It is possible, however, for you to manually intervene with the output if you need to, using either of the two following functions:</p>
+
+<h2>$this->output->set_output();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to manually set the final output string. Usage example:<p>
+
+<code>$this->output->set_output($data);</code>
+
+<p><strong>Important:</strong> If you do set your output manually, it must be the last thing done in the function you call it from.
+For example, if you build a page in one of your controller functions, don't set the output until the end.</p>
+
+
+<h2>$this->output->get_output();</h2>
+
+<p>Permits you to manually retrieve any output that has been sent for storage in the output class. Usage example:<p>
+<code>$string = $this->output->get_output();</code>
+
+<p>Note that data will only be retrievable from this function if it has been previously sent to the output class by one of the
+Code Igniter functions like <var>$this->load->view()</var>.</p>
