* Escape punctuation characters that have a different meaning in -Tpdf.Ingo Schwarze2015-03-301-40/+36
| | | | | | | | ~, `, and ' get translated to non-ASCII characters by most troff implementations when generating PostScript/PDF output. When the original ASCII character is meant, it needs to be manually escaped. Patch from bentley@.
* oops, forgot to apply the actual patch...Ingo Schwarze2015-03-271-0/+22

* Document that certain stand-alone accents need escaping in rare cases toIngo Schwarze2015-03-271-1/+1

* Rework the documentation of Spaces, using the Ossanna/Kernighan/RitterIngo Schwarze2013-12-261-20/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Heirloom Nroff/Troff User's Manual at the authoritative reference. Part of our text was outright wrong. Also, refrain from advertising the paddable non-breaking space `\~' in the DESCRIPTION, for three reasons: For nroff mode, -Tascii, and fixed width fonts in general, it makes no difference, so keep the discussion simple. Compared to `\ ', '\~' is of questionable portability. And if you want to keep words together, it is also more usual that you don't want padding to intervene either. Finally, drop the `\c' escape sequence (interrupt text processing) which is not a special character but an input processing instruction akin to the \<newline> escape sequence.
* Document the alternative syntax \C'uXXXX' for Unicode characters.Ingo Schwarze2013-12-221-3/+3

| | | | | | | Don't use it in new manuals, it is inherently non-portable, but we need it for backward-compatibility with existing manuals, for example in Xenocara driver pages. ok kristaps@ jmc@ and tested by Matthieu Herrb (matthieu at openbsd dot org)

* Added stupid pod2man reserved strings.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-03-231-0/+19
|
* Removed STANDARDS in mandoc_char(7), as they're no longer relevant (the ↵Kristaps Dzonsons2010-03-221-13/+0
| | | | manual deals with input characters, not output formats).
* mandoc_char(7) sync with OpenBSD version.Kristaps Dzonsons2010-01-071-1/+1
