Hi list,
i found a minor issue within the man macros.
Most likely this is a know behaver but i found no mention of it.

As documented you can escape "\" by using "\\" or "\e\".
This went wrong in a man page. Please try the striped down example:

.TH test 3 test
.SH test
.B "\en"
.B "\\n"

with "man -l example.1" i see the \n only once.
Bug of feature ?
NTL i found no mention in groff_man.
