- The whatis(1) utility looks for whole words in Nm.
If the file name of a page does not agree with the contents of any
of its Nm macros (e.g. pool(9)), add the file name as an Nm entry

+- look at pages generated from Texinfo source by yat2m, e.g. security/gnupg
+ First impression is not that bad.

- check compatibility with Plan9:
http://swtch.com/usr/local/plan9/tmac/tmac.an
http://swtch.com/plan9port/man/man7/man.html
- a column list with blank `Ta' cells triggers a spurrious
start-with-whitespace printing of a newline
-- double quotes inside double quotes are escaped by doubling them
- implement this in mdoc(7), too
- so far, we only have it in roff(7) and man(7)
- reminded by millert@ Thu, 09 Dec 2010 17:29:52 -0500
-
- In .Bl -column,
.It Em Authentication<tab>Key Length
ought to render "Key Length" with emphasis, too,
That is, when it is alone on a line between two .Pp,
we want three blank lines, not two as in mandoc.
-- When .Fn arguments exceed one output line, all but the first
- should be indented, see e.g. rpc(3);
- reported by jmc@ on discuss@ Fri, 29 Oct 2010 13:48:33 +0100
- reported again by Nicolas Joly via wiz@ Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:24:40 +0200
- Also, we don't want to break the line within the argument of:
- .Fa "chtype tl"
-
- Header lines of excessive length:
Port OpenBSD man_term.c rev. 1.25 to mdoc_term.c
and document it in mdoc(7) and man(7) COMPATIBILITY
operate in batch mode
in dig(1).

+- check that MANDOCERR_BADTAB is thrown in the right cases,
+ i.e. when finding a literal tab character in fill mode,
+ and possibly change the wording of the warning message
+ to refer to fill mode, not literal mode
