gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit db21639777ec3565a970631ee3734eecb5ec015d
Author: G. Branden Robinson <address@hidden>

    man pages: Fix compatibility-mode problems.
    
    * contrib/gperl/gperl.1.man: Leading an input line with a font escape
      does not prevent compatibility-mode groff from trying to treat it
      as a control line if the first character after the escape is a ".".
      Previously, this had been guarded against by prepending the line with
      \&.  I regressed this on 2 November:

    [...]
        * Eliminate useless uses of \&.
    [...]
    
      Turns out it wasn't useless in compatibility mode, which I did not
      think to test.  Just use .BI instead, which is consistent with the
      rest of the page anyway.
    
    * src/preproc/soelim/soelim.1.man: Make .mso request only after
      compatibility mode is turned off.  I didn't regress this, but the
      bodies are over 2 years old so I didn't investigate deeply.
