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?

Yes, that approach makes sense to me. Our makewhatis(8) tools ahndles these special cases, too. > I will send a patch soon. Feel free to look at mandocdb.c for inspiration, searching for "ASCII_".
