Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org This may seem like a dumb question (OK; it IS a dumb question :-), but I'm hoping that someone here can give me an authoritative answer: Which troff macros should I use to format the FreeBSD 4.5 man pages? I've been using "groff -man", but I'm getting some errors. I tried "groff -mdoc", as suggested in mdoc(7), but that gives far MORE errors. I tried "groff -mandoc", but it acts about like "groff -man".
