I think it's a matter of debate whether
.RB [ U ] INT \fIN\fP _WIDTH
or
.RB [ U ] INT\c
.IB N _WIDTH
is more readable. In the latter at least it's obvious
in which typeface each part will be set.
Hmm, you might convince me. Not sure.
but for some reason the underscore (_) is also set in italics
(well, under-underscored, since italics is just a big hype :).
How can you tell?
If you're using devps:
in the Adobe fonts Times-Roman, Times-Italic, and Times-Bold
the underscore is identical, so you don't see which underscore
is being used (but it's the bold underscore).
If you're using devtty:
If GROFF_NO_SGR is unset:
the output is correct, the underscore is in bold.
If GROFF_NO_SGR is set (and you're piping into less):
Both bold underscore and underlined underscore are output as
<underscore><backspace><underscore>. less has a preference
for interpreting this as an "italic" underscore rather than
as a bold underscore. There's nothing you can do short of
modifying less.
Ahh, it's less's fault then. Okay, I can live with that. I thought I
was doing it wrong.
Thanks!
Alex
