Description

If the value of the man.charmap.use.subset parameter is non-zero, and your DocBook source is not written in English (that is, if the lang or xml:lang attribute on the root element in your DocBook source or on the first refentry element in your source has a value other than en), then the character-map subset specified by the man.charmap.subset.profile parameter is used instead of the full roff character map.

Otherwise, if the lang or xml:lang attribute on the root element in your DocBook source or on the first refentry element in your source has the value en or if it has no lang or xml:lang attribute, then the character-map subset specified by the man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter is used instead of man.charmap.subset.profile.

The difference between the two subsets is that man.charmap.subset.profile provides mappings for characters in Western European languages that are not part of the Roman (English) alphabet (ASCII character set).

The value of man.charmap.subset.profile is a string representing an XPath expression that matches attribute names and values for output-character elements in the character map.

The attributes supported in the standard roff character map included in the distribution are:

character: a raw Unicode character or numeric Unicode character-entity value (either in decimal or hex); all characters have this attribute
name: a standard full/long ISO/Unicode character name (e.g., "OHM SIGN"); all characters have this attribute
block: a standard Unicode "block" name (e.g., "General Punctuation"); all characters have this attribute. For the full list of Unicode block names supported in the standard roff character map, see the section called “Supported Unicode block names and "class" values”.
class: a class of characters (e.g., "spaces"). Not all characters have this attribute; currently, it is used only with certain characters within the "C1 Controls And Latin-1 Supplement" and "General Punctuation" blocks. For details, see the section called “Supported Unicode block names and "class" values”.
entity: an ISO entity name (e.g., "ohm"); not all characters have this attribute, because not all characters have ISO entity names; for example, of the 800 or so characters in the standard roff character map included in the distribution, only around 300 have ISO entity names.
string: a string representing an roff/groff escape-code (with "@esc@" used in place of the backslash), or a simple ASCII string; all characters in the roff character map have this attribute
