How to add a dot to a raw man file at the end of a line? I've got a fragment of a manual file which looks like this: .TP .I krb5_key_file Location of the key for this client's principal. Note that the key file must be owned by root and mode 0400. The default is .I /etc/audit/audit.key I would like to add an unformatted dot (`.`) at the end of this fragment. 1. Adding a dot at the end of the last line like this [...] .I /etc/audit/audit.key. doesn't work because the dot is being underlined. 2. Adding an escaped dot in a new line [...] .I /etc/audit/audit.key \[char46] doesn't work as well because a space character is inserted between `/etc/audit/audit.key` and the dot: `/etc/audit/audit.key .`. How can I solve this?

There are a number of 2-character macros that let you format their arguments in two different fonts, alternating between them. In your case, you'd use the .IR macro. R means Roman, the default font.


The default is
.IR /etc/audit/audit.key .
