 |In case a reference in a mandoc (i.e. something between .Rs/.Re) \
 |contains the word No, groff punts.
 |
 |That is, unless, logically, No is in quotation marks, except \
 |in the case that the entire string is just "No".
 |
 |So for example the following is fine:
 |
 |.%A "Dr. No"
 |
 |while the following fail:
 |
 |.%A Dr. No

You must say \&No, `No' is a mdoc(7) command ("normal text").
