Security fix:
After decoding numeric (\N) and one-character (\<, \> etc.)
character escape sequences, do not forget to HTML-encode the
resulting ASCII character.  Malicious manuals were able to smuggle
XSS content by roff-escaping the HTML-special characters they need.
That's a classic bug type in many web applications, actually...  :-(

Found myself while auditing the HTML formatter for safe output handling.

This form allows you to request diff's between any two revisions of a file. You may select a symbolic revision name using the selection box or you may type in a numeric name using the type-in text box.
