As with the shell and C languages, in *roff the backslash is an "escape character". Here is a table from the groff_char(7) man page that explains how to get some of the characters you might want. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Keycap Appearance and meaning Special character and meaning | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | " " neutral double quote \[dq] neutral double quote | | ' ' closing single quote \[aq] neutral apostrophe | | - - hyphen \- or \[-] minus sign/Unix dash | | \ (escape character) \e or \[rs] reverse solidus | | ^ ^ modifier circumflex \[ha] circumflex/caret/"hat" | | ` ` opening single quote \(ga grave accent | | ~ ~ modifier tilde \[ti] tilde | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ So if you want a backslash, type "\[rs]". Please let me know if this helps, or does not. Regards, Branden
