Otherwise, it's just a cosmetic annoyance in groff (I suspect). By the way, section and subsection cross-references can be marked up with Sx instead of Dq. Also, take out the Ns following the Pp -- it's unnecessary. > 2) under header Line-Orientated Interface, using > .Fl l stops groff in its tracks.

Certainly, when I use the Fl macro myself, it renders as expected. > 3) I need a period after cscope in > deviate from this form will not be recognized by > .Nm (which is cscope) > Yes, I tried .Nm Ns . and .Nm . and .Nm \&. The construct .Nm Ns . is correct and works perfectly, provided the first instance of the Nm macro specified an argument as yours does. Since you haven't sent a version in which you tried that, I can't tell you more. Ciao, Sheldon.
