Hi Francis, What you're seeing are ANSI escape sequences <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code>, which get interpreted by terminals and terminal emulators to control on-screen presentation of text. E.g.:
printf '\033[1mBold\033[0m\n' I'd say something's wrong with whatever program you're using to display the formatted man-page. What you're seeing is actually the correct behaviour for a manpage formatted by grotty(1).
