>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	src/share/man/man7/mdoc.7
	revision 1.6 (HEAD) and revision 1.3.2.2 (RELENG_2_2)

>Description:

	`man 7 mdoc' shows:
	[snip]
	     Name    Parsed    Callable     Description
	[snip]
	     Re      No        No           Reference start.
	     Rs      No        No           Reference start.
	[snip]

	I think that description for `Re' macro should be `Reference
	end.' or something.

	For example, `Re' and `Rs' are used in Mail.1 as follows:
	[snip]
	.Sh SEE ALSO
	[snip]
	.Rs
	.%T "The Mail Reference Manual" .
	.Re
	[snip]

>How-To-Repeat:

	% man 7 mdoc

>Fix:
	Apply following patch for src/share/man/man7/mdoc.7
	revision 1.6 (HEAD) and revision 1.3.2.2 (RELENG_2_2).
