--- Begin Message ---Package: libzip-dev Version: 0.10.1-1.1 Severity: minor I was looking at the zip_add(3) manpage, and read in the SYNOPSIS: zip_int64_t zip_add(struct zip *archive, const char *name); "struct zip_source *source" which makes no sense. Looking at the source, I see that it is an mdoc file with: .Ft zip_int64_t .Fn zip_add "struct zip *archive" "const char *name" \ "struct zip_source *source" which makes a lot more sense, and there is clearly a bug in the conversion from the mdoc to the man format. The conversion, done upstream, used a program called "mdoc2man". I have been able to locate one similar script in the Debian archive, in autogen, but that does not perform anything like the same conversion that the upstream's version does. I've found a few variants of an mdoc2man script online, but none does the same conversion, and none handles the escapes correctly. Julian
