+- 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
--- 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.

-- HTML formatting of .nf should avoid <br/>
+- HTML formatting of .nf should avoid <br/>,
+ even when input lines start with whitespace,
and not close and re-open <pre> on .P

- tbl(7) HTML output does not implement column width specifications
does this affect other characters, other source macros...?

-- The tables used to render the three-part page headers actually force
- the width of the <body> to the max-width given for <html>.
- Not yet sure how to fix that...

+ When implementing this, try to avoid breaking existing manuals,
+ or at least fix them: Jan Stary Sun, 5 Jun 2022 22:48:05 +0200

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.
