Hello Bjarni, thank you for the bug report.
You noticed that the man page was "auto"generated by xslt, with DocBook XSL Stylesheets: this is right. I shall not apply the patch which you provide, because this patch would modify the "binary" file crontab.5, not the source file which it depends on (the source file is available at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/cron/-/blob/master/debian/crontab.5.xml?ref_type=heads) If I apply your patch now, you or I would need to create a new patch every time a modification is made in the source file. The script test-groff is not part of the Debian distribution, and I am not aware of any policy about its usage. Please help me if I make a mistake about it. Possible solutions to the issues you raised are: - check other manpages in Debian which were "auto"generated by xslt (it is the recommended method now) for similar issues, and file a bugreport to developers and maintainers of DocBook XSL Stylesheets - provide a program to enhance files generated by DocBook XSL Stylesheets, in order to pass "test-groff" ---------------------- If you can provide me a link about test-groff, and why this linter should be taken in account, you are welcome.
