Summary

make(1) has commands .include <file> and .include "file", but the manpage was (inconsistently) rendering <file> with angle-brackets (e.g. in UTF8 output, ⟨file⟩ ) and "file" with curly-quotes in HTML output (but not text).

This is an attempt to fix that and output only literal <file> and "file" as is actually required in the makefile.

Thanks for the patch! I've tested the HTML output and it looks much better now.

Can I commit it, @bcr?

This is in /contrib, so is bmake coming from another project or are we maintaining bmake these days? When the former is true, it would be good to send the patch upstream, so that we can get it from there without having to maintain it locally.
