<refsection><info><title>Description</title></info>

<para>The <parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter> parameter
contains <link linkend="map">a map</link> that specifies a set of
string substitutions to perform over the entire roff source for each
man page, either just before generating final man-page output (that
is, before writing man-page files to disk) or, if the value of the
<parameter>man.charmap.enabled</parameter> parameter is non-zero,
before applying the roff character map.</para>

<para>You can use <parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter> as a
“lightweight” character map to perform “essential” substitutions --
that is, substitutions that are <emphasis>always</emphasis> performed,
even if the value of the <parameter>man.charmap.enabled</parameter>
parameter is zero. For example, you can use it to replace quotation
marks or other special characters that are generated by the DocBook
XSL stylesheets for a particular locale setting (as opposed to those
characters that are actually in source XML documents), or to replace
any special characters that may be automatically generated by a
particular customization of the DocBook XSL stylesheets.</para>

<warning>
  <para>Do you not change value of the
  <parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter> parameter unless you are
  sure what you are doing. First consider adding your
  string-substitution mappings to either or both of the following
  parameters:
  <variablelist>
    <varlistentry>
      <term><parameter>man.string.subst.map.local.pre</parameter></term>
      <listitem><para>applied before
      <parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter></para></listitem>
    </varlistentry>
    <varlistentry>
      <term><parameter>man.string.subst.map.local.post</parameter></term>
      <listitem><para>applied after
      <parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter></para></listitem>
    </varlistentry>
  </variablelist>
  By default, both of those parameters contain no
  string substitutions. They are intended as a means for you to
  specify your own local string-substitution mappings.</para>

  <para>If you remove any of default mappings from the value of the
  <parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter> parameter, you are
  likely to end up with broken output. And be very careful about adding
  anything to it; it’s used for doing string substitution over the
  entire roff source of each man page – it causes target strings to be
  replaced in roff requests and escapes, not just in the visible
  contents of the page.</para>

</warning>

<refsection xml:id="map">
  <info>
    <title>Contents of the substitution map</title>
  </info>
  <para>The string-substitution map contains one or more
  <tag>ss:substitution</tag> elements, each of which has two
  attributes:
  <variablelist>
    <varlistentry>
      <term>oldstring</term>
      <listitem>
        <simpara>string to replace</simpara>
      </listitem>
    </varlistentry>
    <varlistentry>
      <term>newstring</term>
      <listitem>
        <simpara>string with which to replace <tag
        class="attribute">oldstring</tag></simpara>
      </listitem>
    </varlistentry>
  </variablelist>
  It may also include XML comments (that is, delimited with
  "<literal>&lt;!--</literal>" and "<literal>--&gt;</literal>").
