Hi Ulrich, these aren't really regressions, but rather unsupported
behaviour. mandoc(1) isn't smart enough to do full conditional
evaluation, so, and I'll note it in the file...
> .if n\
> (r,theta)
> .if t\
> (r,\(*h)
after line concatenation looks like
.if n(r,theta)
.if t(r,\(*h)
to mandoc, which subsequently barfs because it reads conditionals as
text up until space or eoln. So the conditional is "n(r,theta)", which
is true as "n" is first, but obviously there's no body except for the
subsequent "if".
I'll see if I can get some intelligence into this.
Thanks again for the reports!
Kristaps
