So I have to tag this wontfix for the moment. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-REQUEST@... with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster@...

I won't implement such an option. There is no reason to add a way to produce un-portable manual pages. If you want to do this you'll find a workaround you can put in your customization layer in [1].

I think that with the solution above <http://bugs.debian.org/507673#65>, we can have both portability and correct display.

But I did not yet find a way to test this on Solaris. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-REQUEST@... with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster@...

I’ve just tested a manpage generated with docbook-xsl 1.75.2+dfsg-3, and it also works correctly on Solaris 10 (where \(aq did not work).
