Details:
The implementation of the groff_mdoc(7) .Lk (hyperlink) macro contains code to
make sure that the second argument is not punctuation before treating it as a
link text, but the test can never lead to the result "punctuation" because the
initialization of the global variable doc-width is missing before the call to
doc-get-arg-type. Consequently, even "." is not recognized as punctuation:
$ nroff -mdoc
.Lk https://www.example.com/ .
results in:
.: https://www.example.com/
while the correct result would be:
https://www.example.com/.
Simple bugfix patch attached.
Problem reported by Anthony Bentley, bentley at openbsd dot org, fix by me.
