(cc: interested parties and documentation experts) Hi, This series is longer than I would like, and I am not happy to impose the review burden. So if something does not look obviously correct at a glance, please let me know and I'll try to simplify it. The topic: as Frédéric Brière noticed in <http://bugs.debian.org/540001>, various man pages have collected backslashes where they don't belong. Maybe we should forbid backslashes outside of -------- literal -------- sections. Well, I did not go that far. Still, maybe the patches can be useful.
