Where can I find the official document on creating on-line manual pages both in 
the old nroff format and the new SGML? I am looking for definitions and 
specifications. Especially what are characters that need to be escaped for the 
various pagers that access the older nroff formats. And are there any special 
characters for SGML or does the DTD in conjunction with the preprocessor manage 
translating special characters?

Sun has to have a how-to, I can't imagine that they rely on schools to tech 
engineers what they basically developed with the other Unix vendors. Or is this 
proprietary information, and I got to figure it out myself?

The best source do far:
