Re: [groff] Groff

Hi Francis,

What you're seeing are ANSI escape sequences
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code>, which get interpreted by
terminals and terminal emulators to control on-screen presentation of text.
E.g.:

printf '\033[1mBold\033[0m\n'


I'd say something's wrong with whatever program you're using to display the
formatted man-page. What you're seeing is actually the correct behaviour
for a manpage formatted by grotty(1).
