Subject: woman: backslash is in fact control-backslash
Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2004 09:29:32 +0100
Message-ID: <E1Ay5HQ-00075W-00@nostromo.lrde.epita.fr>
Package: emacs21-common
Version: 21.3+1-4
Severity: normal
The woman mode seems to have problems with backslashes (\e in roff).
Although they are correctly displayed as `\', they are actually
understood as C-\. This has nasty side effects:
- copy/paste result in C-\ instead of \
- C-s (isearch) will not find backslashes in the man page,
unless you do search for C-\ (i.e., C-s C-q C-\).
As an example, I ran woman perlsub, look for "thinks the root is" and
observe that you can't isearch for the following \n, and that
copying/pasting this \n gives C-\ n.
Thanks!
