Title: Fix treatment of dots at start of line

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 [escaping dots in groff](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11469341/escaping-dots-in-groff)). This commit adds this special escape and adds-to or fixes tests as appropriate.
