 From "groff -ww ..." (or "man --warnings=w ..."):

<groff: mdoc.7>:294: warning: tab character in unquoted macro argument

 In one table the distance between columns is too small in the
"ps" output.  (Bug in the groff "doc.tmac" macro?)

Thanks. Applied for 3.42.

 My patch from that day is a crude one, as I did not know enough.
The third one (from 14th May) is the correct (best) one.

.Bl -column ".Fl bullet" -compact
 etc.

Hi Bjarni,


What I applied is below. Okay?

Thanks,

Michael
