Hi, Enclosed is a patch to limit possible \N'nnn' escapes. \N transforms the number 'nnn' into its character representation and is marked as "for backwards compatibility" in mandoc_char(7). I can only find manuals using this for the double-quote \N'34', so this seems safe, but maybe one of you knows of crazy \N usage that would inspire me to re-think. However, throwing, e.g., the \b character in there will cause at least -Tps and -Tpdf to puke. Thoughts? Kristaps
