Hi, Branden!

Is it possible to represent the following precisely in a manual page?:

[[
$ echo -e "\n\nHere's some text.\n\n\nAnd here's some more."


Here's some text.


And here's some more.
]]

It's the output of a program that I'd like to represent precisely in EXAMPLES, but groff(1) doesn't like things like:

[[
.EX
.RB $ " echo -e \"\n\nHere's some text.\n\n\nAnd here's some more.\""


Here's some text.


And here's some more.
.EE
]]


Thanks,

Alex
