Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Checking for defects with
[test-][g|n]roff -mandoc -t -K utf8 -ww -b -z <man page>
[test-groff is a script in the repository for "groff"]
* What was the outcome of this action?
troff: backtrace: file '<stdin>':76
troff:<stdin>:76: warning: trailing space in the line
troff: backtrace: '<stdin>':55: macro 'C'
<following is a bug in troff>
troff: backtrace: file '<stdin>':253
troff:<stdin>:253: warning: ignoring font selection on interrupted line
* What outcome did you expect instead?
No output (warnings).

Any program (person), that produces man pages, should check its content for
defects by using
groff -mandoc -t -ww -b -z [ -K utf8 | k ] <man page>
The same goes for man pages that are used as an input.
For a style guide use
mandoc -T lint
-.-
So any generator should check its products with the above mentioned
'groff' and additionally with 'nroff ...'.
This is just a simple quality control measure.
The generator may have to be corrected to get a better man page,
the source file may, and any additional file may.
-.-
The difference between the formatted outputs can be seen with:
nroff -man <file1> > <out1>
nroff -man <file2> > <out2>
diff -u <out1> <out2>
and for groff, using
"printf '%s\n%s\n' '.kern 0' '.ss 12 0' | groff -man -Z - "
instead of "nroff -man"
Add the option "-t", if the file contains a table.
Read the output of "diff -u" with "less -R" or similar.
-.-.
If "man" (man-db) is used to check the manual for warnings,
the following must be set:
The option "-warnings=w"
The environmental variable:
export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value)
or
(produce only warnings):
export MANROFFOPT="-ww -z"
export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value)

Mark a full stop (.) and the exclamation mark (!) with "\&",
if it does not mean an end of a sentence.
This is a preventive action,
the paragraph could be reshaped, e.g., after changes.
When typing, one does not always notice when the line wraps after the
period.
There are too many examples of input lines in manual pages,
that end with an abbreviation point.
This marking is robust, and independent of the position on the line.
It corresponds to "\ " in TeX, and to "@:" in Texinfo.

Do not use "\s0" in a string definition but an absolute number,
as the size of the string could be changed.
Then a situation of "\s+X...\s+Y...\s0...\s0" could emerge.
Type size changes have an effect in "groff", but not in "nroff".
