- ".\}" on its own line gets translated to bare ".\&" |
|
which forces pset() into man(7) |
|
and then triggers an unknown macro error |

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

|
- 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. |
