Hi folks,
For a LONG time on my Fedora systems, man pages have shown up with
backquotes changed to apostrophes. This is usually innocuous, but when
the bash manual says command substitution is accomplished by 'command'
it starts to get sinister!
To reproduce or disprove this, do a `man bash' and, at the colon,
issue:
/Command Substitution
By doing
man bash > bash.txt
and using emacs to examine that file, I can tell it's not `less'
that's the culprit. /etc/man.config specifies TROFF as "groff -Tps
-man" and NROFF as "nroff --legacy NROFF_OLD_CHARSET -man". Changing
both of these to "-Tascii -man" does no good.
Assuming I'm not the only one with this problem, does anybody know how
to fix it? Thanks much for any info,
