+An input file contains syntax that cannot be safely interpreted,

+does not implement it yet.
+By discarding part of the input or inserting missing tokens,
+the parser is able to continue, and the error does not prevent

+or unintended formatting.
+.It Cm warning
+An input file uses obsolete, discouraged or non-portable syntax.
