Something is really broken with the latest groff. nroff -mandoc devd.8 | more UNTITLED LOCAL UNTITLED ESC[1mNAMEESC[0m ESC[1mdevd ESC[22m- Device state change daemon etc Notice that it now bogusly and wrongly contains escape characters. This is wrong wrong wrong and must be fixed. Color is cool, but putting it in nroff is absolutely the worst and wrongest place one can put it. Why is it done this way? Can't it be fixed?
