changing the escape character hasn't occured to me, that's clever! Unfortunately it doesn't work -- groff won't allow me to set the escape character to a control one, and I cannot use some obscure unicode glyph because it must be ASCII... I could disable escaping, but that seems to break embedding comments etc. from what I've tried. I will address the proposed solution in a reply to Dave Kemper. ~ onf
