I wonder if '.BR /etc/ascii (7)' wouldn't be better.Also, shouldn't we clarify the Version 7 of the UNIX Programmer's Manual? Or was it only called that way in V7? I ignore much of history about those times, but I guess older versions also used the exact same title, right?
Maybe something like: .BR /etc/ascii (7) appears in the UNIX Programmer's Manual in Version 7.I don't know if we refer to that thing in other pages. If so, it might be interesting to check the syntax used there for consistency.
