Summary: [PATCH] .Ql macro in troff-mode does not put text in
single quotes => [mdoc] Ql macro in troff mode sometimes does not put text in
single quotes
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #6:
We never heard back from the submitter and it's been over a year.
_mdoc_ is working as documented, as Deri noted in comment #1, and multiple
alternatives are available if document authors want more control over the
output.
Possibly the issue is that the submitter is a _consumer_ of _mdoc_ pages and
laments the appearance of _troff_ mode output when a document uses `Ql`.
In that event I suggest editing the "mdoc.local" file to replace the `Ql`
macro implementation with an alias to the desired macro's behavior.

One could also write a `Ql` macro from scratch, as an advanced exercise.
N.B., _mandoc_(1) does not support this and might never.
Dropping "[PATCH]" annotation because I'm rejecting the patch.
