Hi again,

another small bug that introduces line breaks, where it shouldn't.
NB that groff explicitly states:

     The ‘.In’ macro, while in the SYNOPSIS section, represents the #include
     statement, and is the short form of the above example.  It specifies the
     C header file as being included in a C program.  It also causes a line
     break.

     While not in the SYNOPSIS section, it represents the header file enclosed
     in angle brackets.

Note the omission of line break in the second paragraph. mdocml 1.10.0
always adds a line break though, eg.:

This was changed by
.St -p1003.2-92
to decouple
.Fn getopt
from
.In stdio.h .


     This was changed by IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'') to decouple
     getopt() from <stdio.h>

     .


Pretty ugly, huh? :)

Regards,
Uli
