Greetings groffers,
The man page groff_ms(7) states that the .R macro sets its arguments
in regular type, but works like the .B macro otherwise. However, it
seems that .R does not work like .B when given arguments:
---
.LP
.B "bold in parenthesis - works" ) (
.R "regular in parenthesis - does not work" ) (
.B
Bold - no parenthesis - works
.R
Regular - no parenthesis - works
---
Is this a bug? Thanks. --Omari
