OK, here's where it seems to have trouble:
% pandoc -f man
.ie n \l'\\n(^lu\(ul'
.el \{\
.\" Draw four-sided box normally, but don't draw top of
.\" box if the box started on an earlier page.
.ie !\\n(^b-1 \{\
\h'-1.5n'\L'|\\n(^yu-1v'\l'\\n(^lu+3n\(ul'\L'\\n(^tu+1v-\\n(^yu'\l'|0u-1.5n\(ul'
.\}
.el \}\
\h'-1.5n'\L'|\\n(^yu-1v'\h'\\n(^lu+3n'\L'\\n(^tu+1v-\\n(^yu'\l'|0u-1.5n\(ul'
.\}
.\}
.fi
Error at (line 8, column 6):
unexpected '}'
.el \}\
^
I THINK this is a bug in macros.man
At line 8, it should be
.el \{\
The meaning of this is:
if ...
else {
if .. {
}
else { <- thing I fixed
...
}
}
endif
