BTW how to output ' or \ character in manual page placed in /usr/local/man/RU_SU.KOI8-R? In manual pages placed in /usr/local/man sequence \' and \\ works, but in .../RU_SU.KOI8-R ' and \ character are ignored. Is it a bug? Or I do something wrong? ----- Original Message ----- From: Ruslan Ermilov <ru@FreeBSD.ORG> Newsgroups: lucky.freebsd.questions Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2001 3:40 PM Subject: Re: How to write a man page > On Sat, May 26, 2001 at 11:00:04AM +0200, Ernst de Haan wrote: > > Hey, > > > > As a maintainer of a few ports, I would like to be able to write man pages > > too.
