which forces pset() into man(7) |

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

.br \} |

- tbl(7): Horizontal and vertical lines are formatted badly: |
|
With the box option, there is too much white space at the end of cells. |
|
Horizontal lines from "=" lines are a bit too long. |

- When there is free text in the SYNOPSIS and that free text contains |
|
the .Nm macro, groff somehow understands to treat the .Nm as an in-line |

macro, while mandoc treats it as a block macro and breaks the line. |

No idea how the logic for distinguishing in-line and block instances |
|
should be, needs investigation. |
