Another issue found by Nicolas Joly. I can reproduce it with mdocml-1.12.0.

Cheers,

Hi Thomas,

I just found another nroff vs. mandoc difference while looking into
bwi(4) man page.

In a columnated list, use of Em macro differs with a quoted string of
words separated by tab characters. While nroff do emphasis all words,
mandoc do only make the first one.

The attached sample output differs for the second item line.  While we
can rewrite this by using constructs like the 3rd item line, i wonder
if this behaviour is to be expected ?

Thanks.

NB: At least the following man pages suffer from this:

man1/mt.1
man1/nl.1
man3/rpc.3
man4/ath.4
man4/bwi.4
man4/crypto.4
man4/dge.4
man4/rtw.4
man4/swcrypto.4
man4/termios.4
man8/ccdconfig.8
