-- ".\}" on its own line gets translated to bare ".\&"
- which forces pset() into man(7)
- and then triggers an unknown macro error
- reported by naddy@ Sun, 3 Jul 2011 21:52:24 +0200

-- .TP before .SH is still FATAL in man(7)

-* 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.

--- missing roff features ----------------------------------------------
+- 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)
.ad r -- adjust right margin only (flush right)
reported by brad@ Sat, 15 Jan 2011 15:45:23 -0500
- 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
-- pod2man expects `tr' to be implemented for \*(-- to work
+- \c (interrupted text) should prevent the line break
+ even inside .Bd literal; that occurs in chat(8)
-- \c (interrupted text) occurs in chat(8)
+- using undefined strings or macros defines them to be empty
+ wl@ Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:37:01 +0000
--- missing mdoc features ----------------------------------------------
- groff an-ext.tmac macros (.UR, .UE) occur in xine(5)
reported by brad@ Sat, 15 Jan 2011 15:45:23 -0500
-- .SH implies .fi, see e.g. sasl_setpass(1)
- reported by naddy@ Sun, 3 Jul 2011 23:55:17 +0200
+- -T[x]html doesn't stipulate non-collapsing spaces in literal mode
--- missing tbl features -----------------------------------------------
.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,
- When .Fn arguments exceed one output line, all but the first
should be indented, see e.g. rpc(3);

+ 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"
- .Ns should work when called at the end of an input line, see
the following code in vi(1):
operate in batch mode
in dig(1).

+- We use the input line number at several places to distinguish
