+
+
+Global changes
+--------------
+
+The POSIX.1 man pages (sections 0p, 1p, 3p) have been moved out
+of this package into the separate man-pages-posix package.
+This made sense because those pages are seldom changed (only formatting
+fixes, etc.) so that it was unnecessary to redistribute them with each
+man-pages release.

+ s/`/\`/ for backquotes used in command substitution, for
+ proper rendering in UTF-8.
+
+Various pages
+ mtk, after a note from Stuart Brady
+ Using /'x'/ to denote a character (string) renders poorly in
+ UTF-8, where the two ' characters render as closing single
+ quotes. On the other hand, using /`x'/ renders nicely on UTF-8,
+ where proper opening and closing single quotes are produced by
+ groff(1), but looks ugly when rendered in ASCII. Using the
+ sequence /\\aqx\\aq/ produces a reasonable rendering ('\\aq'
+ is a vertical "apostrophe quote") in both UTF-8 and ASCII.
+ So that change is made in a number of pages.
+ See also http://www.cl.cal.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html.
+
+Various pages
+ mtk
+ Replace form /`string'/ by /"string"/, since the former renders
+ poorly in ASCII.
