I thought I had put preserved the checkin description for it in the release notes but I guess I didn't. Anyway, the complete description for the change (and for all changes made between the 1.71.1 and 1.72.0. releases) is in the NEWS file: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/NEWS.html#V1.72.0_Manpages To quote from that: Adjusted manpages stylesheet to use U+2593 as the internal representation for the backslash character within the stylesheet. This prevents backslashes in source content from getting eaten. But note that that change (and some related changes I made for the 1.72.0 release) was a misguided experiment. It ended up resulting in prohibitively huge memory consumption for transformations of certain documents. So I have since reverted to a simpler and less memory-hungry way of handling the escaping of backslash, dot, dash, and apostrophe (which all have special meaning in roff source in certain circumstances). So the next release will not have the "▓fB" stuff. --Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
