I don't think we will get mandoc fully fixed in this respect before release, we are not even sure which is the best way to go, and changing this could easily cause considerable breakage. You could just use .It Dv FS_POSIX_SETUID Ta integer Ta yes That is quite easy to understand and works with old groff, new groff and mandoc. When there are many words per column, old groff sometimes needs quoting to reduce the number of arguments: .It Dv FS_POSIX_SETUID Ta "1 2 3 4 5" Ta yes When there are many columns, Ta may not be an option with old groff at all. But here, none of these issues seem to occur. Yours, Ingo -- To unsubscribe send an email to discuss+unsubscribe@mdocml.bsd.lv
