  |>Description:
  |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").
