In groff, Heirloom Doctools troff, and neatroff, the `\~` escape sequence produces an adjustable (paddable) but unbreakable space. mandoc, which does not perform adjustment or render to typesetters, supports the escape sequence as a synonym for `\ `, the same as `\0`. This extension is of long pedigree: groff has supported it for at least 30 years, Heirloom for 17, mandoc for 13, and neatroff for 6. Do the same as mandoc to prevent mis-rendering of documents using this escape sequence. Heirloom Doctools troff, a descendant of Documenter's Workbench troff, would be a good place to look for a compatible implementation of the adjustable semantics for this sequence.
This is a port of many Plan 9 libraries and programs to Unix.
Installation
To install, run ./INSTALL. It builds mk and then uses mk to run the rest of the installation.
For more details, see install(1), at install.txt in this directory and at https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/man1/install.html.
Documentation
See https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/man/ for more documentation. (Documentation is also in this tree, but you need to run a successful install first. After that, "9 man 1 intro".)
Intro(1) contains a list of man pages that describe new features or differences from Plan 9.
