 .Sh COMPATIBILITY  
 This section summarises

 Each input and output format is separately noted.  
 .Ss ASCII Compatibility  
 .Bl -bullet -compact  
 .It  
 Unrenderable unicode codepoints specified with  
 .Sq \e[uNNNN]  
 escapes are printed as  
 .Sq \&?  
 in mandoc.  
 In GNU troff, these raise an error.  
 .It  
 The  
 .Sq \&Bd \-literal  
 and  
 .Sq \&Bd \-unfilled  
 macros of  
 .Xr mdoc 7  
 in  
 .Fl T Ns Cm ascii  
 are synonyms, as are \-filled and \-ragged.  
 .It  
 In historic GNU troff, the  
 .Sq \&Pa  
 .Xr mdoc 7  
 macro does not underline when scoped under an  
 .Sq \&It  
 in the FILES section.  
 This behaves correctly in  
 .Nm .  
 .It  
 A list or display following the  
 .Sq \&Ss  
 .Xr mdoc 7  
 macro in  
 .Fl T Ns Cm ascii  
 does not assert a prior vertical break, just as it doesn't with  
 .Sq \&Sh .  
 .It  
 The  
 .Sq \&na  
 .Xr man 7  
 macro in  
 .Fl T Ns Cm ascii  
 has no effect.

 Words aren't hyphenated.

 .Ss HTML Compatibility  
 .Bl -bullet -compact  
 .It  
 The  
 .Sq \efP  
 escape will revert the font to the previous  
 .Sq \ef  
 escape, not to the last rendered decoration, which is now dictated by  
 CSS instead of hard-coded.  
 It also will not span past the current scope,  
 for the same reason.  
 Note that in  
 .Sx ASCII Output  
 mode, this will work fine.  
 .It  
 The  
 .Xr mdoc 7  
 .Sq \&Bl \-hang  
 and  
 .Sq \&Bl \-tag  
 list types render similarly (no break following overreached left-hand  
 side) due to the expressive constraints of HTML.

 and
