-- ".\}" on its own line gets translated to bare ".\&"
- which forces pset() into man(7)
- and then triggers an unknown macro error

-- .TP before .SH is still FATAL in man(7)
- reported by brad@ Sat, 15 Jan 2011 15:54:54 -0500
- also occurs in emulators/pcsxr/patches/patch-doc_pcsx_1

-* formatter bugs
-************************************************************************
-
-- tbl(7): Horizontal and vertical lines are formatted badly:
- With the box option, there is too much white space at the end of cells.
- Horizontal lines from "=" lines are a bit too long.

-- .if n \{
- .br\}
- should cause an extra space to be raised.
+- roff.c should treat \n(.H>23 and \n(.V>19 in the pod2man(1)
+ preamble as true, see for example AUTHORS in MooseX::Getopt.3p

- .ad (adjust margins)
.ad l -- adjust left margin only (flush left)

- xloadimage(1) wants .ti (temporary indent), rep by naddy@
+ reported again by bentley@ in nmh(1) Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:38:28 -0600
+ also uses .ce (center N lines) and .fc (field control)
- .ta (tab settings) occurs in ircbug(1) and probably gnats(1)
reported by brad@ Sat, 15 Jan 2011 15:50:51 -0500
-- \c (interrupted text) occurs in chat(8)
+- \c (interrupted text) should prevent the line break
+ even inside .Bd literal; that occurs in chat(8)
+
+- using undefined strings or macros defines them to be empty

.It Em Authentication<tab>Key Length
ought to render "Key Length" with emphasis, too,
see OpenBSD iked.conf(5).
+ reported again Nicolas Joly via wiz@ Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:20:00 +0200
- empty phrases in .Bl column produce too few blanks
try e.g. .Bl -column It Ta Ta
- .Pp between two .It in .Bl -column should produce one,
not two blank lines, see e.g. login.conf(5).
reported by jmc@ Sun, 17 Apr 2011 14:04:58 +0059
+ reported again by sthen@ Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:09:39 +0000 (UTC)
- If the *first* line after .It is .Pp, break the line right after
the tag, do not pad with space characters before breaking.
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv message"
in magic(5), located in src/usr.bin/file, is the same
as -width 7n, not -width 11n.
+ The same applies to .Bl -column column widths;
+ reported again by Nicolas Joly Thu, 1 Mar 2012 13:41:26 +0100 via wiz@ 5 Mar
- The \& zero-width character counts as output.
That is, when it is alone on a line between two .Pp,
operate in batch mode
in dig(1).

+- We use the input line number at several places to distinguish
+ same-line from different-line input. That plainly doesn't work
+ with user-defined macros, leading to random breakage.

- Find better ways to prevent endless loops
in roff(7) macro and string expansion.
