Note that doubling it (\\) is not the right way to output a backslash. Because mandoc(1) does not implement full roff(7) functionality, it may work with mandoc(1), but it may have weird effects on complete roff(7) implementations. The sequence \n" retrieves the numeric register named ", which probably isn't used and has the value 0.
