Variable: woman-preserve-ascii

woman-preserve-ascii is a customizable variable defined in woman.el.gz.

Value

t

Documentation

If non-nil, preserve ASCII characters in the WoMan buffer.

Otherwise, to save time, some backslashes and spaces may be represented differently (as the values of the variables woman-escaped-escape-char and woman-unpadded-space-char respectively) so that the buffer content is strictly wrong even though it should display correctly. This should be irrelevant unless the buffer text is searched, copied or saved to a file.
