Package: docbook-to-man
Version: 1:2.0.0-9
Severity: normal
Backslashes do not display correctly in the generated manpage because
they aren't quoted. Easily fixed by substituting \\ for \ in the
docbook-to-man output.
Example SGML:
<!doctype refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN">
<refentry>
<refnamediv>
<refname>foo</refname>
<refpurpose>bar</refpurpose>
</refnamediv>
<refsect1>
<title>foo</title>
<para>Single backslash \ isn't treated correctly</para>
</refsect1>
</refentry>
Generated output:
() ()
NAME
foo - bar
foo
Single backslash isn't treated correctly
()

You should invoke docbook-to-man with INSTANT_OPT set to a space if you
want to use some special characters literally in your SGML file. This also
takes care of collapsing white space into one space.
INSTANT_OPT=" " docbook-to-man src.sgml > dst.1
Kind regards
Luk
PS: Maybe I should emphasize it more in the manpage?
