Tom Quinn (trq@dionysos.thphys.ox.ac.uk) proposes the following addition to
tmac.an:
.ie n \{\
. ds lq \&"\"
. ds rq \&"\"
.\}
.el \{\
. ds rq ''
. ds lq ``
.\}
Let me propose the following simpler addition instead.
This should generate better-looking output, too.
.ds lq \(lq
.ds rq \(rq
You might consider similar patches to the other groff macro packages
that define double-quote, e.g.:
diff old/macros/doc-ditroff new/macros/doc-ditroff
