Hmm, this is curious. I wonder why we get different results. Here is the
nroff markup I get with 1.74.3:
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
This is a paragraph, followed by a list:
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 1.\h'+01'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP " 1." 4.2
.\}
One
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 2.\h'+01'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP " 2." 4.2
.\}
Two
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 3.\h'+01'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP " 3." 4.2
.\}
Three
.RE
.sp
A new paragraph\&.
and here is the formatted output from groff 's "nroff -man" command:
This is a paragraph, followed by a list:
1. One
2. Two
3. Three
A new paragraph.
Do you get the same nroff markup that I got?
Oddly enough, when I apply your patch to 1.73.4 lists.xsl, I get the same
nroff markup! Turns out that is because there is a process inside
"other.xsl" that merges double line-feeds before a period:
<!-- * squeeze multiple newlines before a roff request -->
<substitution oldstring=" ." newstring=" ."/>
That's why I get the same results with and without your patch. Are you
using any customization of the manpage templates? If not, then perhaps this
is an OS thing regarding line-feeds. I'm using cygwin on a Windows box.

I still see the problem with 1.74.3. I can "fix" it with the patch
below, but I would not be surprised if that is breaking some other
situation.
