Periods at the start of a line cause issues for groff. The normal 'escape' sequence for periods (\.) causes lines to disappear when they are the first non-whitespace characters, even though the escape works elsewhere. One solution is to write periods at the start of a line as \[char46] (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11469341/escaping-dots-in-groff). This commit adds this special escape and adds-to or fixes tests as appropriate.
