    groff_man*(7): Discuss hyperlink breaking more.
    
    Tell readers of both groff_man(7) and groff_man_style(7) that \: escape
    sequences in device control command arguments don't bother the output
    driver.
    
    Identify @, #, ?, and & as possible break points for email addresses and
    URIs.  Refrain from making a style recommendation either way at this
    point.  (We consistently break after @ in our own pages.)
    
    Thanks to Alejandro Colomar and Ralph Corderoy for the discussion.
