I would use \fP instead of \fR, this way you return to the "previous"
Ahh, yes, thanks for catching that! Sleeping 3 hours is definitely not good for the brain :P
font, not the roman style in the current family. This is important in (sub)section headings because they are normally set in boldface, so switching to roman explicitly would unintentionally put "directory" on a diet (i.e., cause it to lose [stroke] weight). With that correction, I'm +1. But I would also quote multi-word arguments to _any_ man(7) macro.
Why is it? I remember you mentioned that, but what's the win?
Thus:+.SS "The \fI/proc/sys/user\fP directory"Equivalently, if one doesn't care about portability to ancient formatters...+.SS "The \f[I]/proc/sys/user\f[] directory"
Interesting. I'll consider that for the long term. However, for now I'll keep \fP style.
...will suffice. (One might reasonably wonder why "\fI" doesn't cause a loss of stroke weight, too. In groff 1.22.4 and earlier, it does. In groff 1.23.0, the man(7) package remaps the "I" to "BI".) Regards, Branden
