I agree that when converting ORG to MAN pages (org-man-export-to-man), a new line should be added before the line break `.br' tag. Otherwise, for example, the following: ``` hello\\ word ``` is converted to: ``` hello.br word ```
Since the bug is flagged for newcomers, please find a patch attached. Thanks, Francesco
