I ran into an interesting "behavior" this morning...
Here is the offending text:
.H3 "\f2.\^.\^.including 21 examples"
Macro H3 is defined as:
. de H3
. ce 1
. ft HB
. ce 1
\\$1
. ft 1
..
I get an error because groff is interpreting the first dot
in .\^.\^. as the first character in the argument to H3, apparently
ignoring \f2. If I put a \& sequence in front of the first dot,
it's happy and everything works.
Is this what I should expect?
