-  problem has always been avoidable through use of the \% escape
-  sequence, but cross references are frequent in man pages and some page
-  authors are inexpert *roff users); and (4) deep divisions in man page
-  maintenance communities over which typeface should be used to set the
-  man page title (italics, roman, or bold).
