It says:
- String: \*[S]
Switch back to the default font size.
- String: \*[R]
The `registered' sign.
- String: \*[Tm]
The `trademark' sign.
- String: \*[lq]
- String: \*[rq]
Left and right quote. This is equal to `\(lq' and `\(rq',
respectively.
I tried those, they don't work. But now I tried without []'s and that
doesn't always work either:
foo \s-2NULL\*[S] bar
prints 'foo' in normal font, followed by 'NULLS] bar' in smaller font.
foo \s-2NULL\*S bar
works as expected: foo and bar in normal font, NULL in smaller font.
\*[R] \*[Tm] \*[lq] foo \*[rq]
prints 'R] Tm] lq] foo rq]'.
\*R \*Tm \*lq foo \*rq \(lq bar \(rq
prints '® m q foo q " bar "' (the last ""'s are left and right), which
isn't what I expected either. But that looks like a groff bug, not a
documentation bug. Only \*S and \*Tm work as expected.
