-                       with and without frames and rulers.  Nesting of indented blocks is now supported in <A HREF="man.7.html">man</A>, and
-                       several bugs were fixed regarding indentation and alignment.  The page headers in <A HREF="mdoc.7.html">mdoc</A> are now
-                       nicer for very long titles.
