gbranden pushed a commit to branch master
in repository groff.

commit 5a81d15c6055be363205cf209ad3d2baa95c9133
Author: G. Branden Robinson <address@hidden>
Date:   Wed Nov 8 20:12:37 2017 -0500

    man pages: Fix uses of `backticks` as literals.
    
    Use character escapes so the backticks look like backticks and not like
    left single quotation marks.
    
    man/groff_char.7.man:
    * Also convert some nearby uses of ' and - to character escapes when
      their ASCII literals were intended.
    
    man/groff_diff.7.man:
    * Also convert some nearby uses of ' and ^ to character escapes when
      their ASCII literals were intended.
