Getting closer but not there yet. Selected man jail to be my example of

How to I convert this file to native macro file that I can edit with ee?

Ah -- did you copy the right file?  /usr/share/man/man8/jail.8.gz should
contain mdoc source, which looks like this:

No blank lines there.  Don't confuse this with the preprocessed version

Yep that is the problem. I have no source. I did minimum install.
Is there any way to convert the preprocessed version in /usr/share/man/*cat8*/jail.8.gz to native macro file.
