Any advice on how I can improve this? (I'll take "no, don't even try to do this" as read, from those who hate man(7). ;-) )
This is a private macro, not something I'm proposing as an extension to
any macro package.
.\" The bold italic font is not accessible via the man macro package.
.de BOLD-ITALIC
. ie d an-trap \ \" Groff and Heirloom troff have this diversion.
. ie F BI \{\ \" Is the font available?
. itc 1 an-trap \" Set input trap for the next logical line.
. ft BI \" Use the font.
. if \\n[.$] \&\\$* \" Emit any arguments.
. \}
. el \&\\$* \" Otherwise, simply emit arguments.
. el \&\\$* \" Dupe because "&" cannot be used in if clauses.
