I've tried this on the NetBSD man ls(1) man page with
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 and didn't see a difference.
# man ls > ls.default
man: Formatting manual page...
# mandoc -Tlocale /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1 > ls.locale
# diff ls.*
#
Ideas why, or is this expected?
One thing I remember being broken at some point: Does this still allow
examples to be copied, or do we have to be extra careful about marking
them up then?
At some point (sorry, I don't remember details, not even if it was
mandoc or groff) I had the annoying state where 'man foo' replaced
dashes with some UTF-8 dash that the shell didn't accept as when
pasting it in a shell.
