X-BeenThere: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Documentation project List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2006 00:57:59 -0000 I'm inserting "LEGACY SYNOPSIS" sections to some mdoc-based man pages. Using .Fo and .Fa in these sections, I find that they act differently than they do in the SYNOPSIS section: * .Fo does not force a blank line. * .Fa (just after .Fo) does not cause a line break. Before I edit the macros to act "just like they do in the SYNOPSIS section" for the LEGACY SYNOPSIS section, I thought I should ask if anyone has any caveats to offer.
