Details:
grodvi replaces ascii ^ (U+005E) by ˆ (U+02C6) and ~ (U+007E) by ˜
(U+02DC).
Test case:
$ cat test.man
.TH test 1
.BI "perl example: " "$str =~ m/^[a-z]$/;"
$ man -Tdvi ./test.man | dvipdfmx > test.pdf
$ pdftotext test.pdf -
And check that there is correct output: $str =~ m/^[a-z]$/;
Currently there is ˆ and ˜.
Werner LEMBERG wrote on mailing list that there are already macros for textual
representation form: \(ha and \(ti. So they should be used for ^ and ~ by
default.
