Nmap's man page is messed up

["Kris Katterjohn" <katterjohn () gmail com>]

Hi everyone!

Nmap's man page seems to be messed up due to confusion between the text
contents and man page syntax.

This is the beginning of line 998 in docs/nmap.1:

"\.nse\-extension\. Although you are not required to follow this for the
moment [...]"

which is coming from line 1938 in docs/refguide.xml:

"NSE-scripts have by convention a <literal>.nse</literal>-extension.
Although"

But man confuses the ".nse" with the man macro ".ns", so it messes up.

I don't know this docbook XML stuff or much about manpage syntax, so I don't
know how to get the refguide.xml to make ".nse" usable in the manpage.

Hopefully it's just a simple fix.

Thanks,
Kris Katterjohn
