Package: bzr
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: minor
The man page generated by the generate_docs.py tool tries to escape
apostrophes with \. This doesn't work correctly with a current groff.
\' is converted to an acute accent mark rather than an apostrophe.
With groff, what you want is \(aq. Unfortunately, that's groff-specific
and won't work with, for example, Solaris man.
Pod::Man adds:
.ie \n(.g .ds Aq \(aq
.el .ds Aq '
to the preamble of the man page and then uses \*(Aq as the escape for
apostrophes in the man page.
