Hi there,
When exporting to a man page an underscore will be translated to
nothing.
Any idea what I could do?

Because I know close to nothing about Groff, could you give an example
illustrating
1. what you wrote,
2. what you expected to have in the ".man" file,
3. what you actually got.

Take this
<--------------snip---------------->
#+TITLE: mycmd
* NAME
mycmd - does very important things
* SYNOPSIS
mycmd.pl -u bla [-R] [-A] [-n] [-a]
* DESCRIPTION
mycmd could be configured by setting environment variable MYCMD_OPT
<--------------snap---------------->
The man page looks like this:
mycmd(1) General Commands
Manual mycmd(1)
NAME
mycmd - does very important things
SYNOPSIS
mycmd.pl -u bla [-R] [-A] [-n] [-a]
DESCRIPTION
mycmd could be configured by setting environment variable
MYCMDOPT
As you can see the _ (underscore) in MYCMD_OPT vanished.

In this case, "_OPT" is a subscript, which is translated into
"MYCMD\d\s-2OPT\s+2\u". For some reason, groff doesn't recognize this
markup.
Anyway, you probably don't want a subscript here. Locally, you can use
a macro instead:
MYCMD\under{}OPT
or simply disable subscript (and superscript) for the whole document:
#+OPTIONS: ^:nil

In this case I prefer the OPTINS version. However, it is good to know I
just could use \under.
Thanks a lot for your help.
