Hi Kristaps,

We have this in roff(7):

  REQUEST SYNTAX
     A request or macro line consists of:
     1.   the control character `.' or `'' at the beginning of the line,
     2.   optionally an arbitrary amount of whitespace,
     3.   the name of the request or the macro, which is one word of arbitrary
          length, terminated by whitespace,
     4.   and zero or more arguments delimited by whitespace.

So the manual seems ok, only the implementation was wrong.

Thanks for your feedback!
  Ingo
