Re: [Groff] new round of html bugs

[Gaius Mulley]

Hi Werner,

here is a fix for the bug you reported back in June. Backslashes
should now be preserved. Please could people test.

For example in ESR's pic guide:

.KS
.DS
.CW
\&.de PS
\&.br
\&.sp \\n[DD]u
\&.ie \\n[.$]<2 address@hidden bad arguments to PS (not preprocessed with pic?)
\&.el \{\
\&.     address@hidden (u;\\$1)+1v
\&.     in +(u;\\n[.l]-\\n[.i]-\\$2/2>?0)
\&.\}
\&..
\&.de PE
\&address@hidden
\&.sp \\n[DD]u+.5m
\&..
.R
.DE
.KE

should now work.

However this patch does not fix the \e problem in pic.ms.
[ The \e is not preserved in pic.ms (-Thtml), although it is
in small test examples.
I've checked the ditroff output - the \e is not preserved so
suspect the bug to be in troff -Thtml or macro sets.. ]
