- the roff parser doesn't tolerate additional characters between |
|
a macro and the \} terminating a conditional block, e.g. |
|
.if n \{ |

.br \} |

|
- none reported right now (yet schwarze@ knows of some) |
- .%T should be quoted, not underlined, when .%J is also present, |
|
to better distinguish the contents of .%T and .%J, |
|
see for example OpenBSD cat(1) |
|
|
|
- In .Bl -bullet, the groff bullet is "+\b+\bo\bo", the mandoc bullet |
|
is just "o\bo". |
|
see for example OpenBSD ksh(1) |
|
|
|
- The characters "|" and "\*(Ba" should never be bold, |
|
not even in the middle of a word, e.g. ".Cm b\*(Bac" in |
|
"mknod [-m mode] name b|c major minor" |
|
in OpenBSD ksh(1) |
|
|
|
- A bogus .Pp between two .It must not produce a double blank line, |
|
see between -R and -r in OpenBSD rm(1), before "update" in mount(8), |
|
or in DIAGNOSTICS in init(8). |
|
|
|
- .Bd -literal and .Bd -unfilled are *not* identical. |
|
In -literal, tabs are 8 spaces. |
|
In -unfilled, tabs are 5 spaces, just like in -filled and -ragged. |
|
See the CCDF_* display in OpenBSD ccdconfig(8). |
|
|
|
- .Nx 1.0a |
|
should be "NetBSD 1.0A", not "NetBSD 1.0a", |
|
see OpenBSD ccdconfig(8). |
|
|
|
- In .Bl -tag, if a tag exceeds the right margin and must be continued |
|
on the next line, it must be indented by -width, not width+1; |
|
see "rule block|pass" in OpenBSD ifconfig(8). |
|
|
|
- The \& zero-width character counts as output. |
|
That is, when it is alone on a line between two .Pp, |
|
we want three blank lines, not two as in mandoc. |
