   8 .Nd end of if block on its own line before Dd
   9 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  10 In an old version of
  11 .Xr mandoc 1 ,
  12 .Xr mdoc 7
  13 file format autodetection failed when the end of an
  14 .Ic if
  15 block stood on its own line before the initial
  16 .Xr mdoc 7
  17 .Ic Dd
  18 macro.
  19 The file was mishandled as
  20 .Xr man 7
  21 and parsing failed with unknown macro errors.
  22 .Pp
  23 If the present document looks like a proper
  24 .Xr mdoc 7
  25 document and the following display reads
  26 .Dq mytext ,
  27 then the problem did not come back:
  28 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
  29 \*[mystring]
