Hello Po4a developers, some man pages we translate have the following: .SH OPTIONS .I Gawk accepts the following options. Standard options are listed first, followed by options for .I gawk extensions, listed alphabetically by short option. .TP .BI \-f " program-file\fR,\fP "\c .BI \-\^\-file " program-file" Read the \*(AK program source from the file The "\c" causes the following (fatal) warning, i.e. no output: Escape sequence \c encountered. This is not completely handled yet. What can we do about this, i.e. how to ignore the "\c" to get po4a to proceed? Thank you very much!
