- 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. |

I think we should treat unknown/unavailable fonts as \fR |
|
such that switching back with \fP works correctly - |
|
and doesn't revert the _previous_ \fP. |

delimiter instead of being thrown away as a no-op roff line |

- In man(7), an empty subsection (.SS) should not be an error, probably |
|
not even a warning. For example, in ExtUtils::CChecker(3p), this is |
|
used in a way similar to empty .It -tag in mdoc(7), that is, explaining |
|
two commands (both presented with .SS markup) in one paragraph of text. |
