The attached patch fixes that. Thanks! I've applied the patch, and amended the commit to change the format. It's pushed already. See man-pages(7): Lists There are different kinds of lists: Tagged paragraphs ... Ordered lists ... Positional lists Elements are preceded by a number (index) in square brackets [4], [5]. These represent fields in a set. The first index will be: 0 When it represents fields of a C data struc=E2=80=90 ture, to be consistent with arrays. 1 When it represents fields of a file, to be consistent with tools like cut(1). Alternatives list ... Bullet lists ... Numbered notes Not really a list, but the syntax is identical to "positional lists". There should always be exactly 2 spaces between the list symbol and the elements. This doesn=E2=80=99t apply to "tagged paragraphs", which use the default indentation rules. Have a lovely day!
