I have since been directed to the more specific ‘man(7)’ manual page <URL:http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man7/man.7.html>. This has a lot of helpful information, including the section “Safe Subset”:: Although technically man is a troff macro package, in reality a large number of other tools process man page files that don’t implement all of troff’s abilities. Thus, it’s best to avoid some of troff’s more exotic abilities where possible to permit these other tools to work correctly. […] -- \ “I'm having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time.
