+=item B<-o>, B<--overstrike>
+
+Format the output with overstruck printing. Bold text is rendered as
+character, backspace, character. Italics and file names are rendered as
+underscore, backspace, character. Many pagers, such as B<less>, know how
+to convert this to bold or underlined text.

+Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text to I<quotes>. If
+I<quotes> is a single character, it is used as both the left and right
+quote; if I<quotes> is two characters, the first character is used as the
+left quote and the second as the right quoted; and if I<quotes> is four
+characters, the first two are used as the left quote and the second two as
+the right quote.

+I<quotes> may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no
+quote marks are added around CE<lt>> text.
