Thanks, applied.

Applied.  I also added periods at the end of the labels that are not
separated from the paragraph, and removes periods for the separate labels.
I'm going to do more changes to make the look more consistent.

I think it's better to use such macros sparsely, only when required.  
There is no support for escaped quotes in man2hlp (as far as I know).  
Could you please show me what you are trying to do?

It's used to highlight manpages in the viewer.  The viewer works like a 
primitive matrix printer and interprets backspace in this way:

character backspace character = bold
underscore backspace character = italic

Open mc.1 in the viewer and press F9.
