Hi Kristaps,

> Do you know whether a `Pp' ends the SYNPRETTY flag?

It does not, see the example file below, which mandoc, old and new
groff all render like this:

  SYNOPSIS
     #include <math.h>

     double
     sin(double x);

     double
     cos(double x);

Of course, we should not recommend using .Pp in the SYNOPSIS,
but that is a separate question.

> I remember some talk about `Pp' having this effect but can't
> remember.

Well, Joerg suggested that it might make sense, but apparently,
it is not how it worked in the past, so i don't think we should
change the rules here.  Even more so given that .Pp is neither
very common nor that useful in the SYNOPSIS.

Yours,
  Ingo
