I think I only sent this out of the person who replied to the original message, and not to the list. Sorry if this is a duplicate. That's what I get for sending e-mail at 5 in the morning :-(.

They are there for typesetting differences. The problem you are running into is probably due to exceeding the mdoc parameter limit.

Checkout mdoc.samples(7) for some other examples. -Mike -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mppsystems.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
