Diff to previous 1.274 (colored) 

In the SYNOPSIS, support the input syntax ".Lb libname [...]" with
multiple arguments, to be printed as "/* -lname [...] */" and to be
searched for with the already established syntax "man -k Lb=libname".
Nothing changes outside the SYNOPSIS section.

Output format and database search term format based on ideas from tedu@.
OK deraadt@ and job@, and jmc@ agrees with the direction, too.

Robert Mustacchi <rm at fingolfin dot org> of illumos, a system that
now also recommends mdoc(7) as their default documentation format,
agrees with the direction, too - actually, they have already done
something similar in small numbers of manual pages some years ago,
though not yet in a systematic or consistent way.

Nobody objected when the idea and the diff
was shown on the groff and portable mandoc mailing lists.

This form allows you to request diff's between any two revisions of a file. You may select a symbolic revision name using the selection box or you may type in a numeric name using the type-in text box.
