-<note><para>If you wish to disable SGR (Select Graphic Rendition) escape sequences, you should edit the

-<para>If your character set uses 8-bit characters, search for the line
-beginning with <quote>NROFF</quote> in <filename>/etc/man.conf</filename>, and verify that it coincides

-
-<screen>NROFF  /usr/bin/nroff -Tlatin1 -mandoc</screen>
-
-<para>Note that you should use <quote>latin1</quote> even if it is not the character set
-of your locale. The reason is that,
-according to the specification, <application>groff</application> has
-no means of typesetting characters outside ISO-8859-1
-without some strange escape codes, and localized manual
-pages are therefore really a hack. When formatting manual pages,
-<application>groff</application> thinks that they are in the ISO-8859-1
-encoding and this <parameter>-Tlatin1</parameter> switch tells
-<application>groff</application> to use the same encoding for output.
-Since <application>groff</application> does no recoding of input characters,
-the formatted result is really in the same encoding as input (although
-<application>groff</application> doesn't know that it is not ISO-8859-1)
-and therefore it is usable as the input for a pager.</para>
-
-<para>Of course, this hack does not solve the problem of non-working
-<command>man2dvi</command> program for localized manual
-pages in non-ISO-8859-1 locales.
-Also, it does not work at all with multibyte character sets.
-The first problem does not have a solution currently. The second
-one is not of a concern because the LFS installation does not support
-multibyte character sets properly anyway. You may want to look at
-internationalization related hints, though.</para>
-
-<para>You may want to also take a look at the BLFS page at
-<ulink url="&blfs-root;view/cvs/postlfs/compressdoc.html"/> which deals with
-formatting and compression issues for man pages.</para>
