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?
Output from "test-groff -b -mandoc -rF0 -rHY=0 -K utf8 -t -ww -z ":
troff: backtrace: file '<stdin>':253
troff:<stdin>:253: warning: [page 2, 4.0i (diversion '3tbd2,0', 0.0i)]: cannot
adjust line at both margins, target_text_length = 112818u, bp->width =
75120u
* 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 -mandoc <file1> > <out1>
nroff -mandoc <file2> > <out2>
diff -u <out1> <out2>
and for groff, using
"printf '%s\n%s\n' '.kern 0' '.ss 12 0' | groff -mandoc -Z - "
instead of "nroff -mandoc"
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)
-.-.
