That's surprising to me, as Michael was careful to use '\-' correctly. In the documentation, I couldn't find anything that says TH should be different than anywhere else, and so I'd expect he would have used it there. $ grep -rn '^\.TH [^ ]*-' man* | wc -l 30 $ grep -rn '^\.TH [^ ]*\\-' man* | wc -l 0 Was it just an oversight, or are there any obscure reasons to do that?
