ummmm, since when could you have bold and other such attributes in
plain ascii text?
isn't this what happens when you look at man pages with a text
editor?
no, man chmod > manchmod
then look at in a text editor, its full of control character
sequences, but not double text like that.
as for the raw man page, thats in nroff it doesn't use doubled text to
represent bold either.
