When I run the following command on the manpage :

   man ./manpage.1.ex | xxd

The resulting text from the dash line 41 is converted to the correct 2d
minus ascii char.

The same is true for the two examples following that text, which are
correctly shown as \-\- in the source.

I am missing something? Or maybe the fact that this text is in a .SH
section make it work correctly?

Best,
