Subject: Nested list spacing issue
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 18:40:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141110174010.Dcr6rYrG%sdaoden@yandex.com> (raw)

Hello,

I'm sure it's known but i can't find a TODO entry in cvs(1) HEAD:
suppose this

  .Sh TABLE OF CONTENTS
  .Bl -inset
  .It Sx "DESCRIPTION"
  .Bl -tag -offset indent
  .It Sx "Creating a table of contents"
  ...
  .El
  ...
  .El

In groff v1.22.3 you will see

  TABLE OF CONTENTS
       DESCRIPTION

             Creating a table of contents

but in mandoc v1.13.1 you get

  TABLE OF CONTENTS
       DESCRIPTION
             Creating a table of contents

which i think lacks an initial vertical space when the .Bl is
opened?  A different approach could be found below, but i don't
know if it's always like that (and am too lazy to evaluate).
