Bug#384980: man-db: don't guess man page authors didn't mean the ASCII they wrote

[Dan Jacobson]

Package: man-db
Version: 2.4.3-3
Severity: normal

Stop overimaginative guesses that man page authors didn't mean the
plain ASCII that they wrote!

$ man php 2>&-|grep Hello
       php -r ’echo "Hello World\n";’
            This command simply writes the text "Hello World" to standard out.
$ man php 2>&-|grep Hello|sed q|sh
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in Command line code on line 1
sh: line 1: ’: command not found
$ LC_ALL=C man php 2>&-|grep Hello|sed q|sh
Hello World
$ man 2>&- php|grep Hello|sed q|cat -v
       php -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Hello World\n";[EMAIL PROTECTED]
$ man -w php|xargs zgrep Hello|sed q|cat -v
\fIphp -r 'echo "Hello World\\n";'\fP
