https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D264501 Stefan E=C3=9Fer <se@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|Open |In Progress --- Comment #4 from Stefan E=C3=9Fer <se@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Gavin D. Howard from comment #3) I have found the cause of the broken elements and URLs: The man page is rendered with "groff -man", and with default settings this enables block justification and hyphenation. Adding 2 macros (.nh and .ad l) to the start of the man page solves the iss= ue. This causes left justified ragged lines and disables hyphenation. But since the default settings are inappropriate (at least for man pages th= at contain long options in the SYNOPSYS and long URLs in the text), I'm wonder= ing whether it might be possible to run "groff" with options that change the processing to no hyphenation and ragged lines without the need of macros in each affected man-page. And I still do not understand why the man pages are formatted with groff, anyway.=20 We have mandoc and it seems its default formatting option are sane ... --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
