            Bug ID: 217435
           Summary: man-pages using groff's new MR macro render
                    incorrectly on man7.org/linux
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: keith.d.marshall@ntlworld.com
        Regression: No

Since its last formal release, GNU Troff's git trunk has introduced a new
macro, for encoding references to other man pages.  man7.org/linux/man-pages
appears to have imported some page sources, e.g.
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/groff.1.html, which use this new macro,
but your rendering engine does not support it; consequently, the displayed page
is incomplete, and effectively unreadable in places.

man7.org is not affiliated with the Linux man-pages project. You will have more
luck reporting at https://github.com/mkerrisk/man-pages/issues.

Strange then, that man7.org itself seems to direct here, for bug reporting;
furthermore, that github repo, which has shown no developer activity in the
last two years, requests that bug reports be directed here, and not to its
issue tracker.

Never mind.  Michael apparently doesn't care that man7.org is poorly
maintained, so why should I?  Sorry to have troubled you.

Does it? https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/groff.1.html#COLOPHON says:
"If you discover any rendering problems in this HTML version of the 
page, [...] send a mail to man-pages@man7.org".

(Though one could argue it's a groff bug...)

The github repository tells in various places (description, README) that
it's just a mirror, and that the official repository and website are at
<kernel.org>.

Anyway, the bug report is for the HTML rendering in <man7.org>, so
Jakub's comment is right, and you should direct your report to Michael
at his email address.  I'm not saying that he'll answer, though, as I
didn't receive any answers to other reports from myself.  :s


Cheers,
Alex
