In this case, "_OPT" is a subscript, which is translated into "MYCMD\d\s-2OPT\s+2\u". For some reason, groff doesn't recognize this markup. Anyway, you probably don't want a subscript here. Locally, you can use a macro instead: MYCMD\under{}OPT or simply disable subscript (and superscript) for the whole document: #+OPTIONS: ^:nil Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
