https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246656 --- Comment #2 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> --- Hmm, roff(7): Special Characters Special characters are used to encode special glyphs ... Sequences begin with the escape character ‘\’ followed by either an open-parenthesis ‘(’ for two-character sequences... Examples: \(em Two-letter em dash escape. ... \(cc Special Characters with two-letter names, see mandoc_char(7). I guess that explains \(**. mandoc_char(7): Mathematical: Input Rendered Description ... \(** ∗ asterisk Ok, so \(** is just wrong here. C comments are not some mathematical formula. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
