We use mandoc. See mandoc(1) for the rules that apply to us. And, again, just to be clear, I am also pretty sure the following rule doesn't apply: > * In keeping with this, it is helpful to begin a new line after every > comma or phrase, since common corrections are to add or delete > sentences or phrases. OTOH, I believe we do have a rule about beginning each sentence on a new line. (Again, see mandoc(1).) And, it is easy to figure out whether your page complies with the style using mandoc's checkers. For example: $ mandoc -W all,stop /usr/share/man/man9/tcp_functions.9.gz mandoc: /usr/share/man/man9/tcp_functions.9.gz:284:16: WARNING: new sentence, new line Jonathan PS: I'm happy to be corrected by one of the man page experts, which I most certainly am not.
