Hi!

apropos in NetBSD is using the mandoc library (currently 1.13.0). I
noted a problem with apropos midi output and asked the author (Abhinav
Upadhyay) to take a look at it.

He reported the mandoc -Ttree /usr/share/man/man4/midi.4 already gave
back mangled output:

root (root) 0:0
        Sh (block) *33:1-35
                Sh (block-head) 33:1
                        NAME (text) 33:4
                Sh (block-body) 33:1-35
                        Nm (elem) *34:1
                                midi (text) 34:4
                        Nd (block) *35:1
                                Nd (block-head) 35:1
                                Nd (block-body) 35:1
                                        device^^independent MIDI driver layer (text) 35:4


The "^^" are reversed, and they correspond to this (from "mandoc midi.4" output):

NAME
     midi -- device-independent MIDI driver layer

I see that the mandoc man page says under "Mdoc Abstract Syntax Tree"
     TEXT       <- [[:ascii:]]*

There seems to be a bug here, or?
