Hi Ingo, firts of all, many thanks for the continuous improvements of mandoc. I am in the process of converting the rtptools' html manpages to be generated from the actual manpages with mandoc -Thtml. https://github.com/janstary/rtptools/commits/webpage ./configure && make clean html Mostly, mandoc -Thtml -O style,man works very well. However, there are a few nits. 1. The w3c validator finds what it considers fatal errors in the output: https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fbiblio.stare.cz%2Frtptools%2Frtpdump.1.html The problem seems to be that the generated html manpage contains, as a long html comment, the obligate license statement (itself a comment in the mdoc source) which is long enough to push the <meta charset="utf-8"/> _after_ the first 1024 bytes, which the validator considers a problem. 2. I can link to http://biblio.stare.cz/rtptools/rtpdump.1.html#F - would it be an improvement if mandoc -Thtml created such links in the SYNOPIS, or would it be too much clutter in the one line? 3. The AUTHORS get rendered fine; could the .An John Doe Mt ... be rendered in the -Thtml output as a "mailto:", or is it a special case not worth the complication?

4. Why the empty
<dt class="It-tag"> </dt>
<dd class="It-tag"> </dd>
between the individual options?

Ha, these are only produced with -O style=...
(and it's not the style sheet that does it).
