.Sh NUMBERED CHARACTERS |
|
For backward compatibility with existing manuals, |
|
.Xr mandoc 1 |
|
also supports the |
|
.Pp |
|
.Dl \eN\(aq Ns Ar number Ns \(aq |
|
.Pp |
|
escape sequence, inserting the character |
|
.Ar number |
|
from the current character set into the output. |
|
Of course, this is inherently non-portable and is already marked |
|
as deprecated in the Heirloom roff manual. |
|
For example, do not use \eN'34', use \e(dq, or even the plain |
|
.Sq \(dq |
|
character where possible. |

.Sh CAVEATS |
|
The |
|
.Sq \e*(Ba |
|
escape mimics the behaviour of the |
|
.Sq \&| |
|
character in |
|
.Xr mdoc 7 ; |
|
thus, if you wish to render a vertical bar with no side effects, use |
|
the |
|
.Sq \e(ba |
|
escape. |
