Hi, The below patch causes -mdoc to generate typographic quotes around a %T (reference title) instead of straight quotes.
I also submitted similar diffs to mandoc and heirloom troff (which haven't been committed yet). It would be nice for the major implementations not to differ here, and the change is trivial. It's worth noting that groff's refer(1) already uses typographic quotes around %T with my -ms documents. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tools.mdocml.devel/723 https://github.com/n-t-roff/heirloom-doctools/pull/6 diff --git a/tmac/doc.tmac b/tmac/doc.tmac index 80c6b88..ee25144 100644 --- a/tmac/doc.tmac +++ b/tmac/doc.tmac @@ -5296,7 +5296,7 @@ . unformat doc-reference-title-name-for-book . chop doc-reference-title-name-for-book . ie ((\n[doc-journal-count] == 1) : (\n[doc-book-count] == 1)) \{\ -. nop \)\*[q]\)\*[doc-reference-title-name-for-book]\)\*[q]\c +. nop \)\*[Lq]\)\*[doc-reference-title-name-for-book]\)\*[Rq]\c . doc-finish-reference \n[doc-reference-title-count] . \} . el \{\
