[bug #51397] [PATCH] tty.tmac: Add characters \[la] and \[ra]

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #51397 (project groff):

Hi Bjarni,

Are you sure this isn't a problem with your terminal emulator or installed
fonts for the window system?

I can get left and right angle brackets easily with a UTF-8 environment on an
xterm.

$ cat lara.man 
.TH foobar 1 x y z
.SH NAME
foobar \- bar for foo
.SH DESCRIPTION
\[la]place description here\[ra]

<pre>
$ MANWIDTH=80 man -l -Tutf8 ./lara.man 
foobar(1)                              z                            
foobar(1)



NAME
       foobar - bar for foo

DESCRIPTION
       ⟨place description here⟩



y                                      x                            
foobar(1)
</pre>

It also degrades to ASCII for more primitive environments.

<pre>
$ MANWIDTH=80 man -l -Tascii ./lara.man 
foobar(1)                              z                            
foobar(1)



NAME
       foobar - bar for foo

DESCRIPTION
       &lt;place description here&gt;



y                                      x                            
foobar(1)
</pre>
