- the man(7) single-font macros (e.g. .B) use .itc,

so ".B foo\c" followed by "bar" prints "bar" in bold

- a line starting with "\fB something" counts as starting with whitespace

and triggers a line break; found in audio/normalize-mp3(1)

This will become easier once escape sequences are represented

Line 484 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 488 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

--- HTML issues --------------------------------------------------------

- .Nm without an argument and .Bx cause premature </pre>

- .Aq Mt could set and reset "white-space: nowrap";

Check whether other enclosure macros could profit from similar handling,

or whether that is covered by Unicode line-breaking classes WJ, ZW, GL, ZWJ.

Line 593 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

Line 600 are mere guesses, and some may be wrong.

even groff_mdoc(7) uses this: Nab Sun, 5 Jun 2022 22:16:37 +0200

When implementing this, try to avoid breaking existing manuals,

or at least fix them: Jan Stary Sun, 5 Jun 2022 22:48:05 +0200

loc *** exist *** algo *** size ** imp ***

An easy partial fix would be to just skip the first word if it starts

with a dot, including any following white space, when measuring.
