Guus The mdoc warnings (on FreeBSD 8) are getting a little bit annoying at times: anywi at lcrproxy:/usr/ports/security/tinc/work/tinc-1.0.19/doc % man tinc.conf 2>&1 | head -5 mdoc warning: Empty input line #6 mdoc warning: Empty input line #10 mdoc warning: Empty input line #15 mdoc warning: Empty input line #22 mdoc warning: Empty input line #30 There are hundreds. Ctrl-L refreshes the page and shows the man page, but still. They are caused by empty lines in the tinc.conf.5.in file because groff_mdoc man page (FreeBSD 8.3): "A warning is emitted when an empty input line is found outside of dis- plays (see below). Use `.sp' instead. (Well, it is even better to use -mdoc macros to avoid the usage of low-level commands.)" Linux mdoc probably behaves differently. Mac OS X mdoc (Mono) does not have this paragraph in the man page for mdoc, so probably does not produce these errors either. Kind regards, Nick Hibma AnyWi Technologies
