The `lq` and `rq` strings are not a groffism, but _almost_ universally
portable to man(7) renderers.
They originate in 4BSD (1980).[1] They entered Unix System V with SVR4
(1988 or 1989).[2] mandoc(1) has supported them since its inception.[3]
* tmac/tmac.an:
* tmac/tmac.antimes: Do it. Use U+201C and U+201D if the output device
is "utf", otherwise define them as `` and ''. Don't define them as
`"` because that breaks when interpolating the strings in macro
arguments.[4]

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.
