doxygen2man: fix printing of lines starting with '.' (#431)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
if a line starts with a '.' (eg the '...' in qbarray.h) then
nroff thinks it's looking for a macro called '..'.

The easiest solution is to add a dummy format at the start of the line
(just adding \ seems not to work).
