[snip] A line begins with "'" character is treated specially by troff, so '1997-02-09 13:15', '13:15 9 Feb 1997', '9 Feb 1997 13:15', and 'Feb. 9, 1997 1:15pm', '09-Feb', '3 weeks ago' or 'May first Sunday'. are not shown in formated tar.1 page. So, "'" characters which appear at the beggining of the line should be escaped by "\&". >How-To-Repeat: % man 1 tar >Fix: --- tar.1.bak Sun Feb 15 22:53:39 1998 +++ tar.1 Sun Feb 15 22:54:07 1998 @@ -368,8 +368,8 @@ .Dl tar\ -c\ -f\ backup.tar\ --newer-mtime\ 'Feb\ 9\ 13:15\ 1997'\ srcdir/ .Pp Other possible time specifications are '02/09/97 13:15', -'1997-02-09 13:15', '13:15 9 Feb 1997', '9 Feb 1997 13:15', -'Feb. 9, 1997 1:15pm', '09-Feb', '3 weeks ago' or 'May first Sunday'. +\&'1997-02-09 13:15', '13:15 9 Feb 1997', '9 Feb 1997 13:15', +\&'Feb. 9, 1997 1:15pm', '09-Feb', '3 weeks ago' or 'May first Sunday'.
