As near as I can tell, this is the "correct" output. Here's the source. As an example, each of the following commands will input the program \`slithy_toves.c\' and write its indented text to \`slithy_toves.out\': This is, I believe, asking for combining characters. i.e., it is the markup one would use to create an accented c, which plain ascii output only approximates as c'. The leading ` may or may not appear depending on whether xterm or whatever decides to combine it with the space. I've been running the diff for a while and didn't notice anything unusual in our manpages because we use the correct markup.
