Hi,
I just encountered a man page where a text phrase from a -column list
exceed the column with. In that case, more than one single line will
be used, like for the attached sample page.
This can be easily fixed by increasing column with up to the offending
text length. Could mandoc be enhanced to throw a warning for such
annoying cases ?
Thanks.
