Re: [PATCH] Force listingblocks to be monospaced in manpages

Julian Phillips [off-list ref] writes:

In order for these roff commands to get through to the manpage they
have to be element encoded to prevent quoting.  In particular with
docbook xsl 1.72.0 and newer we have to use U+2302 instead of . to
prevent the roff command being escaped.  We also add a small perl
script for docbook < 1.72.0.

This does not work at all for docbook 1.71.  I get "^<TAB>ft C"
as output from xmlto.
