Hello, some time ago I reported a bug about not working backslash-period at the beginning of the line. This was evaluated as a documentation bug.
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01499.html I wanted to send a patch, but I'm really not sure what exactly should the documentation say. I believe this is the most confusing part in groff(7): > \. An uninterpreted dot (period), even at start of line. AFAIK the dot character is just the default control character and has a special meaning only at the beginning of the line. Nowhere else. If the \. sequence cannot be used to suppress the meaning of control character at the beginning of the line, it makes no sense to use this sequence at all. Am I right? So what about removing this line from documentation at all?
