Clothing refers to the process of removing spaces or intra-paragraph line breaks from around hyphens or dashes.

Hyphens or dashes which have spaces or intra-paragraph line breaks on either side of them are referred to as unclothed or naked. Occasionally the terms "partially-clothed" or "half-unclothed" are used to refer to dashes which are clothed on one side but not the other, such as might be the case with a dash at the beginning or end of a line of poetry.
