When I was a technical writer and learning products engineer
at Hewlett-Packard, one of the big challenges was to get
writers to understand *structure* instead of *appearance*.
They would gut hung up, especially in HTML, over instead

Thanks Ted and Joerg!
Use whichever is most acceptable! There is a very slight difference
between \[Bq] and ,, : to get ,, to be exactly like \[Bq] you must
a) Move the first "," leftwards by pointsize*0.0012 points
b) Then move the second leftwards by pointsize*0.002 points.

There are some tools on www.snake.net/software which can convert troff2rtf
