I've not done much of that yet. I've learnt the FreeBSD man page Do's and Don'ts I'm aware of by gleaning at commits doc people do and at what they change/suggest when asking them to fix/review a man page. AFAICT "rules" like the one mentioned above aren't documented anywhere but I could be wrong and all of this actually is burried in mdoc(7) somewhere, I just haven't found it, yet :) Marius
