| Subject: | Replacement of some characters with X |
I noticed that things like E<copy> and E<pound> are rendered as X by
Pod::Man, though these are rendered as expected in HTML etc. The correct
behaviour seems to occur with "pod2man --utf8", but I couldn't find an
easy way of making perldoc pass that option on.
The attached patch worked for me, it adds mappings to roff escapes for
latin-1 characters 0xa0 to 0xbf, 0xd7 and 0xf7. Based on the groff_chars
man page.
