Hello,
in a manual page I found the commands
.ie '\*[.T]'utf8'
. ds Un \[cu]
.el
. ds Un U
.
The .ie and .el lines don't end with a backslash. Nethertheless this works
with groff. Is this documented? If not this is a misleading "feature" since
it doesn't tell the author that this code has a syntax error. IMHO the correct
behaviour would be to ignore the .ie and .el line (because of the wrong syntax)
and to apply both .ds commands.
