[PATCH] Line in manpage begins with a groff control sequence

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. groff -Tascii -man nosetests.1
2. Read the section about Configuration
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Notice that one line is missing.  In the source, that line begins with 
".ini\-style".  groff is interpreting the ".ini" at the beginning of the line 
as a control statement and thus the line is being misparsed as a control 
statement rather than text to output.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
nose-1.0.0 on Linux (Fedora 14, groff-1.20.1)

Please provide any additional information below.
groff documents adding \& at the beginning of the line as the fix/workaround.

I'll attach a patch that fixes this
