Okay, first of all, there's no evidence of _mdoc_(7) usage in this
document--only _man_(7) macro calls-so I am retitling this ticket and
reassigning its category.
I can reproduce your results but I still don't understand your complaint.
Here's how the `LL` and `LT` registers are documented.
_groff_man_(7):
Options
The following groff options set registers (with -r) and strings
(with -d) recognized and used by the man macro package. To ensure
rendering consistent with output device capabilities and reader
preferences, man pages should never manipulate them.
...
-rLL=line‐length
Set line length; the default is 80n on terminals and 6.5i
on typesetters.
-rLT=title‐length
Set the line length for titles. By default, it is set to
the line length (see -rLL above).
None of the foregoing implies any guarantee that these register names will be
persistently defined. An implementation of _man_ could, for example,
recognize them upon initialization, invoke `ll` and `lt` requests using them,
and then delete the registers.
Why do you assume otherwise?
