which didn't happen with a non-mule 21.5-b28 build. Merely changing
'--with-mule' to '--without-mule' fixes the problem.
I assume that other mule users don't see this. A gander through the
man.el file didn't reveal anything that I should do. Suggestions on
how to get rid of those annoying escape sequences in 'manual-entry'
output would be appreciated.
I had that, then I read in /etc/man.conf:
# If you have a new troff (version 1.18.1?) and its colored output
# causes problems, add the -c option to TROFF, NROFF, JNROFF.
So I changed to:
NROFF /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc
and it went away.
I have no idea why it would go away with a no-mule build, though.
