- The abort() in bufcat(), html.c, can be triggered via buffmt_includes() |
|
by running -Thtml -Oincludes on a file containing a long .In argument. |
|
Fixing this will probably require reworking the whole bufcat() concept. |

|
- PDF output doesn't use a monospaced font for .Bd -literal |
|
Example: "mandoc -Tpdf afterboot.8 > output.pdf && pdfviewer output.pdf". |
|
Search the text "Routing tables". |
|
Also check what PostScript mode does when fixing this. |
